Membership Types
Individual Members ($100)
Individual Members must hold a management position in an orthopaedic practice or work primarily in the field of orthopaedic management in a Southeastern state. Orthopaedic practices may include orthopaedic departments in academic settings, multispecialty groups that include orthopaedics, orthopaedic single specialty groups, and orthopaedic service lines within hospitals or health systems. They shall have the right to vote at general meetings and may serve on committees or the Board of Directors.
Group Members (Cost varies by number of members enrolled)
The Group Member designation is used to identify multiple members employed by the same orthopaedic practice who receive a discounted membership rate by enrolling together. At least one of those Members should hold a management position in an orthopaedic practice and be responsible for managing the group enrollment. All Group Members may vote at general meetings and may serve on committees or the Board of Directors.
Emeritus Members
Upon approval from the Board of Directors, an individual who has been an active member of the Association for a minimum of ten years and retired from active orthopaedic administration or disassociated from active orthopaedic administration due to disability, may be granted Emeritus Membership.
Transitional Members
The Transitional Member designation is used to identify someone initially enrolled as a Group Member, but his/her employment with that group terminated prior to the current membership year end. Transitional Members may remain active in the Association through the end of the current membership year without paying additional dues if they are employed by another orthopaedic practice. A Transitional Member who remains eligible for and elects Association membership at renewal will become an Individual or Group Member as applicable upon payment of dues for that year.
