President’s Corner

Rick Fleming, NOSSCR President

Thank you to all who came to Nashville; it was great to see and speak with you. From live music and learning from colleagues, to listening sessions with SSA leadership and dinner with Commissioner O’Malley, over one thousand members, exhibitors, sponsors, and guests joined together May 8-11th.  

Please remember that if you were registered for the 2024 annual conference, you will be able to view any sessions you missed (or want to revisit) through the NOSSCR on-demand CLE course store soon—we anticipate recordings being available within the next week. If you missed the conference, you can purchase and stream sessions at your convenience by visiting our store.

Looking forward, NOSSCR is pleased to have multiple events lined up throughout the remainder of 2024.  Please bookmark this link and subscribe to our calendar so you do not miss out—and let us know if there is a topic of particular interest or an event you feel should be offered either broadly or on a Circuit level. We’d love to hear from you at nosscr@nosscr.org.

Finally, thank you to all members who gave to the NOSSCR PAC while in Nashville.  If you were unable to get to the booth, you can give at any time by clicking this link

One of the highlights of our time together in Nashville was the general session where we heard from SSA leadership. What you did not hear about was the tremendous amount of work behind the scenes by NOSSCR staff and members that led to the exciting improvements announced at the conference. 

Commissioner O’Malley achieved a remarkable amount in his first 100 days, yet there remains much to be done. NOSSCR will continue working with leaders at SSA and in Congress to continue this progress. Your NOSSCR membership and gifts to the NOSSCR PAC help us on this path.  

Contributions to the National Organization of Social Security Claimants’ Representatives PAC (NOSSCR PAC) are not tax-deductible as a charitable contribution for federal income tax purposes. Contributions to NOSSCR PAC will be used to support federal and state candidates, political parties, and other political committees.  Contributions are strictly voluntary.  You may refuse to contribute without reprisal.  Any proposed contribution level is merely a suggestion, and you are free to contribute more or less than suggested.  You will not benefit or be disadvantaged by reason of the amount of your contribution or a decision not to contribute.  Federal law requires NOSSCR PAC to use its best efforts to collect and report the name, mailing address, occupation and employer of persons whose contributions exceed $200 in a calendar year.  You must be a U.S. citizen or lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the U.S. to contribute.
