GETTING EMPLOYER SUPPORT TO ATTEND THE 34th ANNUAL MEETING

The four days of ASOPA/NAOT 2010 will be the most cost-effective professional development opportunity you have all year. You will experience a full year of educational benefits in the form of new and greater knowledge that you can apply directly to patient care.

Please feel free to use this letter (Word doc) to assist you in gaining support to attend from your supervisor. Feel free to customize it however you like.

Here are more tips on getting employer support for attending ASOPA/NAOT 2010:
• Offer to prepare and deliver a short presentation and Q&A to your colleagues after the conference to share what you learned. That way your colleagues will get the benefits of your attendance, too.

• Share the syllabus and speaker handouts with your colleagues.

• Explain what you plan to get out of attending and how that will benefit your work, organization and patients.

• Be ready with a plan that shows who will cover for you while you are attending the conference.

• Offer to share a room to reduce hotel expenses.

Please feel free to contact ASOPA at asopa@hp-assoc.com or 800-280-2390 for any questions.
