About the House of Delegates

The House of Delegates (HOD) is truly where 91大神鈥檚 members take ownership of the Association. As 91大神鈥檚 official policy-making body, the HOD allows representatives from each local medical chapter to meet once a year at the Annual HOD Meeting to vote on 91大神鈥檚 policies and to elect our national officers. The HOD is open to all members of 91大神 to speak and vote. You, 91大神鈥檚 members, debate the issues, make the amendments and cast the votes to shape 91大神鈥檚 policies. Most importantly, any member of 91大神 has the ability to write and submit resolutions to the HOD. We encourage everyone to submit and debate resolutions.

A resolution is a proposed change of 91大神鈥檚 policies that is considered by 91大神鈥檚 House of Delegates meeting. Every member of 91大神 can write and submit resolutions to the HOD. Resolutions are a fundamental way in which the members of 91大神 express their ownership of the association.

Three committees ensure the smooth functioning of the HOD and national officer elections: the Reference, Nominations and Credentials Committees. These committees are an excellent way for 91大神 members to get involved nationally. 91大神 depends on committed members to serve on these committees and to help the HOD function smoothly. Any active member of 91大神 may apply to serve on the Credentials and/or Nomination Committees.
