The BFS Family came together for its Annual Meeting

FS is headquartered in Salt Lake City, but we have approximately 50 clinicians spread across the country. Thanks to cell phones, e-mails and text messaging, our representatives are always in touch with the front office. True, but there’s nothing like face-to-face meetings to share experiences, introduce new ideas and – when all is said and done – make certain that everyone at BFS is on the same page. That’s why for over two decades BFS has conducted a national convention to bring the entire BFS family together.

As always, Senior Vice President Rick Anderson showcased some exciting and original products that BFS is considering adding to its catalog. There is still some field testing left to do, so we can’t reveal them just yet; but we can assure you that our customers will be rewarded with some great new catalog items.

Opening the event was BFS President Bob Rowbotham, who took on the role of master of ceremonies for the convention and welcomed everyone personally and detailed the numerous activities to come. His welcome was followed by BFS Founder/CEO Dr. Greg Shepard, who gave an inspirational talk with practical tips on how to stay focused for success.

The event ended with a Hawaiian-inspired (i.e., lots of amazing food) pool party at President Rowbotham’s home. At the end of the day everyone was comfortable, entertained and well fed – a fitting end to another great BFS National Convention.

BOne of the highlights of the meeting was a presentation by Canada’s Paul Gagné on posturology. Gagné’s innovative training methods have been featured in numerous articles in BFS magazine (check out the archives section in our This year’s event was held website!), and our clinicians June 21-23; and every day was were excited to see his methods packed with lectures, meetings, BFS President Bob Rowbotham welcomes demonstrated firsthand.
