ALEXANDRIA, Va. – The American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (AOPA) has announced that Ashlie White will join the organization as its new senior director of external affairs on Aug. 18. A nationally respected leader in orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) advocacy, health policy and strategic programming, White brings a wealth of experience and passion for improving both the O&P profession and the lives of individuals with limb loss and limb difference, AOPA says. “As AOPA doubles down on advocating for policies at both the federal and state levels that advance the profession and protect patient access to high-quality O&P care, Ashlie’s drive, vision, relationships, and leadership will play a key role in advancing AOPA’s mission,” said Teri Kuffel, JD, executive director of AOPA. White most recently served as chief strategy and programs officer at the Amputee Coalition, where she oversaw the National Limb Loss Resource Center, government relations, education and research. She previously served as AOPA’s director of health policy and strategic alliances. Her extensive background in public policy, health law, and public health leadership—paired with her proven track record of building cross-disciplinary partnerships—will be instrumental in leading AOPA’s policy, research and strategic alliance initiatives, the association says.
