Colorado Chapter: ACOFP PRESIDENT'S PAGE

 

2010 Interim President: Jeffrey Bacon, DO

 

 

Don't Forget to Attend the ACOFP Annual Business Meeting in Breckenridge!!!

In March a full contingency of delegates from Colorado attended the House of Delegates (HOD) meeting in Las Vegas. Dr. Richard Book (La Junta) was elected to a reference committee this year. The morning before the voting began the Colorado Delegation caucused with the Texas Delegation to discuss the three different reference committees and how we were going to vote. At the conclusion Rebecca Lewis, OMSIII was elected as the new Student President of National ACOFP! Rebecca is a third year medical student at RVU-COM. Congratulations!!!

RVUCOM sent a student delegation to the Las Vegas meeting. The student chapter of ACOFP is implemented and appears to be growing rapidly, largely in part to Dr. Matthew Harrison and the hard work of the students. After meeting with the new President of the student chapter, Joseph Krakker, OMS-II, discussion took place on how we could work together to make ACOFP stronger in the future.

It is with great pride and a little sadness, that CO ACOFP announced President Matthew Harrison, DO has stepped down. Dr. Harrison joined the Army as a Commissioned Officer and has chosen to serve our country as a Military Doctor. Once Dr. Harrison completes his training, he and his family have chosen Germany for the site of their new adventure together. Good luck Harrison family!
