CPMA Gifted $500K Legacy Grant by CA Podiatrist

 

Following the close of the California Podiatric Medical Association’s (CPMA) 2022 House of Delegates on June 22 in Anaheim, CA, the doctor delegates and alternates joined the newly elected 2022-2023 CPMA Board of Directors, guests, colleagues, family, and friends for an evening of fellowship, camaraderie, reconnecting, and renewing bonds of friendship at the Annual President’s Reception. During the celebration, CPMA Life Member Bruce Lawrence, DPM made a momentous announcement noting that he had been moved and inspired by two articles in the current issue of CPMA's member magazine The California Podiatric Physician.

The specific articles were: "The Long Path to Parity: Past, Present, and Future" by CPMA Executive Director Jon A. Hultman, DPM, MBA, and the other was "The Quest" by CPMA President Diane D. Branks, DPM, which he and his spouse Janet felt provided perfect reasons and timing to create and gift the California Podiatric Medical Association with the Legacy Fund. The $500K endowment is the most significant individual gift the Association has received in its 110-year history.
