RESPONSES/COMMENTS (NON-CLINICAL) - PART 1
RE: APMA Wants My Money, Not My Vote
From: APMA Member
APMA excludes Life members from voting, then asks for money. I feel quite disappointed that the recent referendum about the new definition for podiatric physician that APMA is seeking approval for has excluded life members from voting. Who better than people who have longitudinal knowledge and experience to be able to shed insight into this process?
And then the same week, I receive a lifetime member contribution form with APMA asking for $150 from me. I have always paid this contribution amount to APMA, but this year I’m refraining from doing so because obviously if my vote doesn’t count, neither does my money.
