Over the years, the AOF has supported a variety of programs and services to ad- vance the profession and the physicians we serve. Executive Director Stephen S. Downey, CAE, CFRE In the early years, the AOF provided student loans to osteopathic medical students. In many cases, these loans were the only tuition support students received, since loans were hard to come by. The AOF’s Osteopathic Progress Fund, for example, was one way for physicians to earmark vital support to their medical schools when schools didn’t have Development staffs. Sometimes we forget just how far our profession has come in a relatively short period of time. In the beginning, the AOF was there to help. As physicians, you are inundated with requests to support chari- table organizations with many of those asks coming from the os- teopathic profession. With that in mind, the AOF has sought to collaborate with many key osteopathic organizations in an effort to appeal to our supporters and build programs that support the entire profession. We believe that there is strength in numbers and We believe that there is strength collaboration is key for long term success. This past year we were honored to partner with the American in numbers and collaboration is key Academy of Osteopathy (AAO), the American College of Osteo- pathic Emergency Physicians (ACOEP), the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP), the American College of for long term success. Osteopathic Internists (ACOI), the American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians (ACOP) and the American College of Osteopathic Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOOG) to recognize out- standing residents in their respective specialties. In addition, we distributed the first ever Prairie State Scholarship in collaboration with the Illinois Osteopathic Medical Society (IOMS). Again, there’s strength in numbers and collaboration is key! Please take a moment to read our 2016 Annual Report as there were many amazing accomplishments! From lifetime contributions and academic achievements to the public service impact your fellow DOs are making around the world. Thank you for your continued support and friendship. Remember, you are vital to our success!
