Every OPPA member is important! If you haven't paid your APA/OPPA dues yet - we need you!

On behalf of the leadership, Council and staff of the Ohio Psychiatric Physicians Association (OPPA), I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your membership in the OPPA and APA. Time is running out to renew your membership for 2021, which means access to your member benefits will end soon also.

I would like to highlight a few of the exclusive resources and benefits and services designed to increase your awareness on present topics, connect you with colleagues and leaders, and provide you with tools to help you do your job better.

• Strong advocacy at the local, state and national level on mental health issues, including parity, access to mental health services, scope of practice and insurance reform. 
• Reduced rates and/or free educational events and programs including the APA Learning Center (where education is available at your convenience) and the OPPA Annual Psychiatric Update which will be held virtually on March 26-27, 2021.
• Weekly email (e-Insight Update) and quarterly electronic newsletter Insight Matters, where you will find the latest news on current areas of focus - in addition to everything available from the APA Newsroom.
• Leadership opportunities - we strongly encourage you to join an OPPA committee (or two) to really get involved and make a difference in your professional organization.
• And, so much more!
• We invite you to view these benefits and more on the OPPA website and the APA website.

The OPPA is committed to serving the professional needs of Ohio's psychiatric physicians and to promoting the highest quality care for people with mental disorders. Our power is strengthened with each member's support and involvement. Your membership is critical to our profession and the patients for whom you care.

We sincerely hope you renew your membership today. To maintain your benefits, payment must be received by March 31, 2021. You may renew online at my.psychiatry.org (select “My Memberships-Renew” menu option) or by phone at 888-357-7924 (contact Angelic Proctor, APA Membership Coordinator).

Please contact us anytime with your membership needs at 614-763-0040 or email at: oppa@oppa.org.

Sincerely,

Megan Testa, MD
OPPA President
