2020 Dues Billing Schedule – Cycle 1

Group Billing:  There are a total of 20 practices/institutions that are part of the VOS group billing program.  These group accounts represent 341 VOS members. We will continue to pursue group billing to our members through emails, dues notices, Practice Managers and postcards. 

Reinstatement Campaign
We have been working the AAOS and sending letters and invoices to all lapsed members asking them to renew, highlighting the upcoming meeting and discounted registration fees for members. We also sent out 613 reinstated dues notices to past members we will report on any returning members in our next  membership report.

New Member Spotlight
We have created the New Member Spotlight (https://www.vos.org/new-member-spotlight/).  This spotlight is featured on the VOS website and in newsletters. The New Member Spotlight highlights individual members, their background and what they hope to benefit from their VOS membership.  The spotlight offers an opportunity for new members to share their story with colleagues in the orthopaedic community.
