What Maine Osteopathic Association does

The Maine Osteopathic Association (MOA) is a 501(c)(6)-equivalent nonprofit professional membership association founded in 1912 that serves as the sole state-level organization dedicated to osteopathic physicians (DOs) in Maine. Headquartered operationally in Manchester, ME with a mailing address in Warrenville, IL, MOA represents over 1,300 osteopathic physicians in the state while maintaining 300+ paying physician members, plus students, residents, and interns at UNE COM who receive automatic complimentary membership. The association is structured as a divisional society of the American Osteopathic Association and is led by an Executive Director (Amanda Mahan) and Account Coordinator (Julianne Wagner) under a physician Board of Directors.

MOA's core offering is professional education delivered through two annual in-person CME conferences — the Midwinter Symposium in February and the 115th Annual Convention in June 2026 at The Samoset Resort (offering 21.5 AOA Category 1-A CME credits) — supplemented by the new VOCCME virtual CME platform (jointly with 10 other state osteopathic associations) and on-demand content via The CME Center. Adjacent services include the Find a Maine DO public directory, a self-service Career Center job board, the MOEF scholarship and Initial Certification Grant programs, the MOA/MMA Legislative Committee advocacy function, the 1000 Lives Campaign for opioid harm reduction, joint CME accreditation sponsorship, and a portfolio of annual awards.

The business model is a diversified small-association revenue stack: tiered annual membership dues ($66–$445, with free student/resident/intern tiers), convention registration ($570 member / $770 non-member), newsletter and program advertising ($250–$500 placements), career center job postings ($250/30-day), conference sponsorships, and charitable grants. Operations run on a standard MemberClicks association management system with no proprietary technology products, and the organization is sustained by a 5-person staff supported by volunteer physician leadership.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Osteopathic Association (AOA): The AOA is MOA's national parent/affiliate, of which MOA is a divisional society. It is the most directly comparable organization, providing national CME accreditation, advocacy, and member services to all U.S. DOs. Comparable in mission and structure, but operating at national scale rather than Maine-only.
• American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians (ACOFP): ACOFP is the national specialty society for osteopathic family physicians and co-runs the Initial Certification Grant program with MOA. It is a direct partner on the AOBFP board certification grants and ACOFP Maine Chapter convenes its annual meeting inside MOA's convention. Comparable as a specialty osteopathic society with CME and member-benefit offerings.

Regional players

• Vermont Medical Society: Vermont's statewide physician professional society, structurally analogous to MMA and MOA. As a small-state New England peer, it competes for limited physician mindshare in a similar rural healthcare market and offers a directly comparable small-association operating model.
• Massachusetts Medical Society: The state-level professional medical society for Massachusetts physicians, structurally parallel to MOA in providing CME, advocacy, and member services. As a New England peer, it competes for the attention of physicians practicing in the region and represents a comparable regional state medical society model.
• New Hampshire Medical Society: New Hampshire's statewide physician professional society offering CME, advocacy, and member services. It is a New England neighbor society with a comparable mission, small-staff operating model, and reliance on dues and annual meetings.

Direct peers

• Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association (POMA): One of the largest state osteopathic medical associations in the U.S., serving Pennsylvania DOs with CME, advocacy, and member services through a divisional-society model parallel to MOA's. Comparable in mission and member-benefit structure, but at much greater scale.
• Maine Medical Association (MMA): MMA is Maine's statewide allopathic medical society and MOA's direct advocacy partner through the joint Legislative Committee (formed 2024). It serves the parallel physician constituency in Maine, offers CME, advocacy, and member services, and is the closest structural peer to MOA in the same geography.
• Michigan Osteopathic Association (MOA): Michigan's statewide osteopathic medical association, also a divisional society of the AOA. It is a structural peer providing CME, advocacy, and member services, with one of the largest DO populations in the country. Shares VOCCME-style virtual programming and similar membership-tier structures with MOA.
• New York State Osteopathic Medical Society (NYSOMS): State osteopathic society serving New York DOs, providing CME, legislative advocacy, and member services. Functions as a direct divisional-society peer to MOA with a parallel operating model, just in a much larger state.

Others

• National Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners (NBOME): The standardized testing body for osteopathic licensure (COMLEX). It is adjacent rather than directly competitive, but is referenced through MOA's Initial Certification Grant program and CME pathways. Comparable as an osteopathic-medicine institution connected to MOA's certification support services.
