In preparation for the 2001 Strategic Planning Retreat, the OAFP conducted a survey in the fall of 2000 of members in the Active membership category to assess their views on various issues confronting the profession and the effectiveness of the OAFP in meeting these needs and concerns. The survey results on the professional needs and challenges of members, and members satisfaction with and the effectiveness of the OAFP s communication, legislative advocacy and educational programs and members overall satisfaction with OAFP have been covered in the last four editions of Front Page News. One message that resonates clearly from the respondents is that the OAFP is primarily viewed as an information source about the profession that enhances their ability to function effectively within their practice. This can be seen in the importance they place on legislative advocacy, desire for additional focus on practice management issues, and suggestion that overall satisfaction with the OAFP would increase if more assistance was offered in dealing with insurance companies and managed care organizations.
