How do you use partnerships to amplify your message, get things accomplished and get feedback from the field? How do you shape state policies so that insurance companies cover more of what patients need to live their best lives?

In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Eve Lee, Executive Director of the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (AOPA). Eve introduces AOPA, shares her journey to becoming Executive Director, and the things AOPA is doing to thrive. Eve discusses:

What orthotists and prosthetists do.
How she loves being an association executive!
How AOPA has gotten legislation passed in four states such that insurance companies now cover recreational prosthetic devices that today are mostly covered through charity.
How AOPA uses partnership to amplify their message at the grassroots level.
How AOPA uses partnership to improve their own learning about what’s happening in the field.
AOPA’s affinity health plan and AOPAversity.
How this year’s National Assembly will feature: a Digital Showcase that will allow manufacturers to show off their most cutting edge products and services, an event at the NAACP museum that will celebrate athletics and kids being active, and a women of O&P luncheon.
How membership is steady. There is a lot of consolidation in the space and private equity money is coming into the industry.
