Thank You, Tony

We would like to thank retiring public board member, Tony Sertick, Jr., JD, for his many years of service to the ABC Board. Tony provided an invaluable patient perspective as well as a commitment to helping ABC achieve its mission and goals. As an attorney and judge, Tony brought a passion for law. He attended seven AOPA Policy Forums during his time on the Board, traversing the grounds of Capitol Hill informing law makers about the importance of O&P care. Tony, thank you for your time and commitment to serve. The ABC Board and staff wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you again on the Hill or out in the O&P community continuing to make a difference.

Welcome, Jordan
