Group Billing: There are a total of 20 practices/institutions that are part of the VOS group billing program. These group accounts represent 340 VOS members. We will continue to pursue group billing to our members through emails, dues notices, Practice Managers and postcards.
Reinstatement Campaign
Come Home for the Holidays: We sent emails and invoices to all lapsed members going back 3 years asking them to renew, highlighting the upcoming virtual meeting and discounted registration fees for members. Unfortunately, no members took advantage of the opportunity to renew.
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.
