COMMITTEE POSITION

Thanks for submitting!

POFPS is seeking volunteers to join its commits, which play a crucial role in advising the Board of Trustees on key issues vital to the organization’s success.  A strong committee system is the lifeblood of a professional membership organization like POFPS. The more diverse a committee, the more valuable its work will be.

POFPS needs Osteopathic family physicians from various regions and practice types across the commonwealth. This diversity will help ensure that that committees’ recommendations represent the entire membership.  As you will see below, the time commitment is small, but the rewards are huge! This is why we need you!
