AAEM 2011 Elections Nomination Deadline: November 29, 2010
Five At-Large positions on the AAEM board of directors are open as well as the Young Physicians Section (YPS) Director position. Any Academy member may nominate a full voting or YPS member (for the YPS Director position only) for the board. Self-nominations are allowed and encouraged. You must be a YPS member to be eligible to run for the YPS Director position.
Elections for these positions will be held at AAEM's 17th Annual Scientific Assembly, February 28-March 2, 2011, in Orlando, FL. Although balloting arrangements will be made for those unable to attend the Assembly, all members will be encouraged to hold their votes until the time of the meeting.
The Scientific Assembly will feature a Candidates Forum, in which members will be able to directly question the candidates before casting their ballots. Winners will be announced during the conference, and those elected will begin their terms at the conclusion of the Assembly.
In order to nominate yourself or another full voting member for a board position, please complete the nomination form and attestation statement found at http://www.aaem.org/elections/2011nominationform.pdf and send the information listed below to the AAEM office before midnight CST, on November 29, 2010, Central Standard Time. Any YPS member can be nominated and elected to the YPS Director position. The nomination form and required information is the same as that for a board position.
The candidate statements from all those running for the board will be featured in an upcoming issue of Common Sense and will be sent to each full voting and YPS member along with the ballot.
These nomination and election procedures are what set AAEM apart from other professional medical associations. We believe the democratic principles that guide them are one of AAEM's greatest strengths and are an integral part of what makes us the organization of specialists in emergency medicine. In AAEM, any individual, full voting or YPS member can be nominated and elected to the AAEM board of directors.
