Governance

You must be a current FY 2023 member to nominate yourself to serve on council.

Individuals elected to councils are expected to:

• Be able to serve a three-year term (two for MPPDA).
• Abide by “Roles, Responsibilities, and Expectations for AAIM Volunteer Leaders”
• Register for and attend Alliance conferences (vaccine verification is required)
• Prepare for and attend council in-person meetings (vaccine verification required) held in July (travel and housing reimbursed) and in conjunction with Academic Internal Medicine Week (housing reimbursed)
• Actively participate in conference calls (quarterly for all except CDIM and MPPDA, which are monthly; 60 minutes each for all except APDIM, which are 90 minutes)
• Step down from any active committee positions by June 30, 2023
• Advocate for the Alliance, including representing AAIM opinions to other organizations, requesting payment of dues from nonpaying members, and encouraging members to register for conferences
• Understand the decisions and plans of the council are subject to approval and resourcing by the AAIM Board of Directors

All councils will seek a president-elect/chair-elect for FY 2024; AIM and APDIM will also seek a treasurer.  All officer terms are three years.  To be considered as an officer candidate, you must have served on the respective council in the last five years.

Founding council officers (president, president-elect, past president, and treasurer) are expected to serve on the AAIM Board of Directors or the AAIM Finance and Audit Committee, which have separate meetings and conference call schedules.
