There's a fairly important bill/event happening in Iowa right now concerning the Board of Podiatry potentially being subsumed into the Board of Medicine but without representation. I'm purposely being vague - you can read about it for yourself online.
I'm not totally sure how comparable the events were, but Texas used to have a separate Texas State Board of Podiatric Medical Examiners. It was ultimately subsumed into the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and now we are regulated by the same organization that regulates barbers. The impression I've received from state events is that it was an entirely negative event.
For all of our joking about our leadership - you probably don't want your state podiatry organizations changed by other professions.
If you can do something, now's the time to act.
