Support Future Leaders
ACOFP has established the Leadership Development Fund to support future osteopathic family medicine physicians through opportunities like the Future Leader’s Conference.  ACOFP’s Leadership Development Fund has been created in honor of John P. Sevastos, DO, FACOFP dist. and S. Lawrence Koplovitz, DO, FACOFP who developed the Processional of the Conclave of Fellows.
 
The Future Leader’s Conference is an initiative of the ACOFP Board of Governors and the Young Physicians and Residents Committee to enhance and cultivate leaders in the osteopathic family medicine profession.
 
Supported by the Conclave of Fellows and the general membership, the Future Leader’s Conference provides attendees with the skills and resources needed to become successful leaders as well as the opportunity to build a network of other future leaders and existing leaders from the Conclave of Fellows.
 
ACOFP invites its members to support the future of the profession by making a donation to the Leadership Development Fund. adobe icon
