• What he feels is the role of the AAO in our profession.
• The three primary areas that the AAO focuses upon.
• The Consumer Advocacy Program (CAP) and why he feels it is both effective and important.
• The limitations of what can be said as part of the CAP.
• Some of the resources that the AAO offers to members.
• The resources that the AAO offers to residents, what the AAO is doing to try to educate residents about the benefits of joining the AAO, and where residents can go to learn more about the AAO and the services it provides to them.
• The different ways to get involved with the AAO from a leadership perspective, including at the component and constituent levels.
• How the AAO determines what content to present in their Annual Session and Winter Meeting.
