President’s Corner

Rick Fleming, NOSSCR President

NOSSCR continues to be hard at work for you and your practice. We look forward to seeing you in Nashville and explaining all that has happened since we saw you in person in Washington, D.C. For now, I would like to bring NOSSCR’s advocacy efforts to your attention. 

At the outset of his term as Commissioner, NOSSCR presented a list of priorities to Commissioner O’Malley. Since that time, much has been accomplished and communications continue with the Commissioner on just about a daily basis. In addition, NOSSCR staff have regularly scheduled meetings and communication with SSA senior staff. Over the course of 2024, you will continue to see the fruits of this labor.   

Along with advocacy at the agency level, NOSSCR’s Political Action Committee (PAC) is putting your donations to work. From our new base in Washington, D.C., we’re taking your concerns directly to Congress. The NOSSCR PAC enables us to meet regularly with key stakeholders as we focus on our legislative priorities. One example of NOSSCR’s legislative advocacy is CEO David Camp’s testimony before the House Ways and Means Committee, bringing key issues to light. NOSSCR has also held fundraising events, hosted dinners, and had substantive meetings on the Hill. 

Would you like to help? NOSSCR Members can donate to the NOSSCR PAC by clicking here (you must be signed-in to your NOSSCR account to access this link). We thank those who have already given and those who give monthly. 

NOSSCR is working hard to get hard things done. Your membership in NOSSCR and your donations to the NOSSCR PAC move us all forward. Thank you for being a member.
