Dear Prospective Member,

We are pleased to have completed one year as the Southeastern Fracture Consortium Foundation.  We are also please to have reached successful approval as a 501C3 tax exempt organization and to have received 22 new members during the first year.  Thank you for your membership and sharing in this worthwhile endeavor.

The Foundation holds the mission to promote the enhancement of orthopaedic trauma care through quality education and research.  We invite your membership and your involvement with the committees within the organization.  The website for the Foundation is www.sefcf.org.  We expect to have fully updated lists of names and contact information for the executive officers and committee chairs in the near future.

The Foundation is funded through membership by providers of orthopaedic trauma care and through contributions.  We have received corporate donations this year which have assisted with the start-up costs and will be inviting continued corporate sponsorship.  Recognition is awarded the contributors on the Foundation website.

Membership has been expanded this year to allow teaching institutions to become members of the Foundation with the benefit of sending their residents to the annual symposium with a waiver of the registration fees for those residents to attend the conference.  The fee for institutional membership is $1000.00 annually.  Please feel free to share this information with your associates involved in academic settings.

The fee for initial membership is $500.00 with a renewal fee of $100.00 annually.  We hope you will take the time to learn more about the activities of the Foundation and will choose to join with our efforts. Forms for memberships for all categories are located at www.sefcf.org.    

Checks should be made to the Southeastern Fracture Consortium Foundation.
