    The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists is proud to announce
    the Call for Thranhardt Lecture Presentations to be presented at the
    33rd Academy Annual Meeting & Scientific Symposium, March 21-24, 2007 in
    San Francisco, CA

    The Howard R. Thranhardt Lecture Series is an education fund that was
    established in 1995 by J.E. Hanger Southeast in memory of Howard R.
    Thranhardt, CP. The fund provides a $1,000 honorarium for one hour of
    education programming at the Academy Annual Meeting.

    Based upon the submitted abstracts four presentations will be chosen as
    potential recipients of the Thranhardt Lecture Series honorarium. These
    presentations will be delivered at the Annual Meeting and voted on by
    the attendees. The winners will be determined based upon content,
    delivery, clinical, and scientific relevance of the presentation. Two
    $500 honoraria will be awarded to the selected presentations.
