A NOTE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
This is an exciting time for our profession in Michigan. In the coming year we are anticipating the final establishment of registration for acupuncturists! We have all contributed in our own way to bring this legislation into existence and I would like to personally thank those who have gone the extra mile to ensure its success, specifically our past president Deborah Lincoln and our lobbyist Stephanie Wuttke. This bill will not only advance the acceptance of acupuncture in the state, it will ensure that people can trust that the practitioners they seek out are well qualified. I am proud to be a member of this hard working and generous group.
In good health
Brodie Burris
President MAAOM, Dipl. Ac. MSTCM
