Supporting the AOA

Leadership in action is critical to the continued development of the orthopaedic society. As a leader in orthopaedics, you now have a unique opportunity to give back to the profession in ways that go beyond simple membership in an organization.

Endowment

AOA and OREF have formed a stronger partnership designed to benefit AOA for many years to come.
Your contribution to any of the following endowments will help ensure that future generations of orthopaedists will have the same opportunities that you had through AOA programs. By making your contribution to the AOA Endowments, and to the profession, you will set a clear example to those who will follow you. You will be demonstrating leadership in action.

• AOA ABC Traveling Fellowship Endowment
• AOA General Endowment Fund
• AOA-NATF Traveling Fellowship Endowment

Additionally, members may also contribute to the AOA via OREF's Annual Giving program by checking "AOA" on the annual giving envelope.
