Oregon Acupuncture Associations Unify
Taking a page from the successful unification of the national organizations, the two associations representing acupuncturists in Oregon- the Oregon Acupuncture Association (OAA) and the Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine Society of Oregon (AOMSO) met on September 14, 2008, and finalized their unification. Members of both associations worked together for months to prepare new bylaws and establish goals for the new organization. The new name is the Oregon Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (OAAOM).
The Oregon Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine will combine the strengths and visions of both organizations and will effectively represent the interests of practitioners of Oriental medicine in the state of Oregon and at the national level. Members have elected an interim Board of Directors to serve until their Annual Meeting in the spring of 2009.
Oregon Licensed Acupuncturists or all other individuals who wish to obtain more information, or would like to join the Oregon Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine should contact the organization by info@oaaom.com.
