By Tom Chapman, CAE, AOS Executive Director T he AOS membership came together for our Annual Meeting in Denver, CO this past August. If you were not there, you missed out on beautiful weather and gorgeous scenery that allowed for golfing, hiking, zip-lining and dancing to the sounds of the “All in the Family Band”, all combined with a stellar educa-tional program. An exhibit hall full of industry partners were able to show their newest products to an interested audi-ence when classes were not in session. While doctors were in session, their spouses and guests (and maybe a few of the doctors), were at 8,000 feet enjoying an eight-segment zipline and several miles of hiking trail. Quality education, mixed liberally with plenty of time to enjoy Colorado, made the AOS Annual Meeting a special week. Plan now for next year’s Annual Meeting, as we move MUCH further south to the white sand of Clearwater Beach, Florida, October 8-11, 2015. See all of you there! 40 Fall 2014 JAOS
