Making a Difference for the Specialty

March 24, 2015 By claudia

An enthusiastic delegation of dedicated FSOMS members spent a day at the Capitol in Tallahassee making a difference for the specialty.  The day began with a meeting with our outstanding lobbying team at Gray-Robinson to review the current issues and the talking points to share with legislators during the day.  Senator Alan Hays joined the meeting to give his perspective on the key issues.  Then off to the third floor of the Capitol Rotunda where we positioned a large, multi-faceted exhibit showing the scope of the specialty, including a large FSOMS banner, scrolling videos from AAOMS and give-away gifts with the FSOMS logo.

Thanks to the following for their sacrifice on behalf of the specialty, for dedicating a day to truly make a difference:  Drs. Tom Bowers, Mark Braxton, Carlos Coro, Marcos Diaz, Howard Fisher, Greg Grantham, John Hardeman, Steve Kotkis, Brett Laggan, Chad Marshall, Ed Meszaros, Richard Mufson, Ramon Ruiz, Don Tillery and Mark Tucker.
