Jeffrey M. Brandt, CPO, CEO & Founder of Ability Prosthetics & Orthotics, Inc. was recently invited by both the Rotary Club of Carroll Creek and the Kiwanis Club of Frederick to speak on the topic of Advancements in Prosthetics & Orthotics.

Rotary offers the opportunity to build lifelong friendships and experience the personal fulfillment of providing volunteer service to others. It is comprised of professional leaders who provide humanitarian service, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and build goodwill and peace in the world.

Rotary flourishes with more than 27,000 clubs and more than 1.2 million men and women as members, providing community service in 160 countries. The Carroll Creek club meets every Wednesday morning at 7:15 in the main hall of All Saints Episcopal Church, located at 106 West Church Street, Frederick.

Kiwanis focuses on the needs of ordinary people and children to create extraordinary life-changing moments. Kiwanis and its Service Leadership Programs boast a membership of more than 600,000 men, women, and youth in nearly 16,000 clubs in more than 70 countries and geographic areas. Members of Kiwanis and its Service Leadership Programs volunteer more than 21 million hours and invest more than $113 million in their communities around the world. Kiwanis is taking itself from a good organization to a truly great organization that defines excellence for service and leadership and builds leaders through service opportunities.

"It was a pleasure to speak with both the Rotary and Kiwanis meetings," says Brandt, "These are great organizations with great missions. I appreciate the opportunity to speak and meet with other Frederick business owners and representatives to increase awareness about advancements in Prosthetics and Orthotics."
