AMOA House of Delegates, 2009
This past May, the AMOA held another successful House of Delegates
at the Dearborn Hyatt. This annual meeting is an excellent opportunity for
members to hear what the Advocates are doing throughout the year, but is also
a forum to share new ideas and programs from around the state that could get
some much-needed support from our members. A goal of president, Nancy Granowicz,
has been to get the word out to the students, interns and residents around
Michigan that the Advocates are an important network of DO supporters.
AMOA Fundraising
The AMOA began a fundraising opportunity this year called Scripcents.
Scripcents allows you to purchase giftcards from merchants such as Macy's,
Marshall's, Lands End and more. AMOA will recieve a percentage of your purchase.

AMOA Projects
The AMOA is an affiliate of the Advocates for the American Osteopathic
Association (AAOA), and with that collaboration, we are involved with some
amazing projects that extend across the country as well as across our state.
In addition to the programs below, please visit the new AAOA website at www.advocates4dos.org to learn more about what the Advocates are doing to promote and support osteopathic
medicine.
Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program
The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Program remains a recipient of our volunteer
hours and our donated dollars. The State of Michigan has made great strides
in opening the doors of our schools to suicide prevention programs by passing
Public Act 324, effective July 2006. If you have any questions about this
life-saving suicide prevention program or you would like some Yellow Ribbon
“Ask 4 Help” cards please visit www.yellowribbon.org.
