ILAPPS Corporate Partnership Program

INVITATION TO SUPPORT

Dear ILAPPS Corporate Supporters,

We are pleased to offer the following 2021 Corporate Support Program. Even in the face of adversity, the Illinois Association of Podiatric Physicians and Surgeons (ILAPPS) has had another year of strong performance supporting our primary goals of education and outreach to our members. We now have over 700 members. We are working hard to develop programs that will attached and welcome early-career podiatrists. Importantly, the depth and breadth of our corporate support has grown, facilitating our ability to effectively carry out our worthwhile mission. These vital ILAPPS activities, among others, would have not been attainable without the continuous support of our corporate partners. We recognize and appreciate our strong relationships with companies that share our commitment to podiatry and patient care. 

The ILAPPS is proud to acknowledge our Corporate Partners as critical contributors to the success and progress of our association, as we pursue our mission – 

MISSION STATEMENT

The Illinois Association of Podiatric Physicians and Surgeons is committed to:

  • Promoting quality podiatric medical practice and ethics.
  • Enhancing public awareness about foot and ankle health.
  • Ensuring the future development of the profession of podiatric medicine; and,
  • Ensuring the continued growth of the Association and promoting the welfare of its members.

We know that you share in our mission and hold a stake in our success. Education continues to be a cornerstone of the ILAPPS. In 2020, we began hosting complimentary monthly webinars to ensure our members had access to continuing education. Our monthly webinar series, Tuesdays with ILAPPS have been very well received. With the continued uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 in early 2021, the ILAPPS Leadership has decided to continue this webinar series. We believe that this is the best decision to not only protect the health and safety of our members and attendees but also to allow the most inclusive gathering of our community possible. We are looking forward to being together again, in person, when it becomes available, following state mandates for public gatherings.  We are anticipating an in-person Annual Business meeting event in the fall of 2024. 

The 2020 Tuesdays With ILAPPS highlighted many areas of interest to our membership, the 2021 series kicked off with two Resident Case presentations. While in-person meetings will never go away, learners are looking for additional outlets to pursue education. The ILAPPS is lucky to be ahead of the curve in this regard, having already started to develop a robust offering of opportunities. These are highly engaging and interactive courses that guide the learner through various treatment paths. ILAPPS is currently developing additional programs that fulfill the needs of our members. The ILAPPS is also looking to add Coffee and Learn (15- 20 minutes) or Lunch and Learn (30- 45 minutes) webinars. 

We are investigating a track of learning opportunities for Our Young Surgeons. As our Association continues to grow, we will continue to explore different venues in order to offer versatile education programs. We recognize that these growth opportunities can only be fully realized with the continued backing of you, our long-standing and greatly appreciated Corporate Partners. We are committed to working with you, to identify mutually beneficial collaborations. Please review the various partnership options, should you have any questions or wish to discuss a particular initiative and options, please contact Patrice Cooper at the Association’s Headquarters Office at 312-427-5810 or via email to [email protected].
