House of Delegates & National Elections
The House of Delegates (HOD) is truly where AMSA’s members take ownership of the Association. As AMSA’s 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 AMSA’s policies and to elect our national officers. The HOD is open to all members of AMSA to speak and vote. You, AMSA’s members, debate the issues, make the amendments and cast the votes to shape AMSA’s policies. Most importantly, any member of AMSA has the ability to write and submit resolutions to the HOD. We encourage everyone to submit.
Our by-laws come in two parts- one is the Preambles, Purposes, and Principles (PPP), which dictates what AMSA is allowed to advocate for. We also have the Constitution and Bylaws of Internal Affairs (CBIA), which share the structure of AMSA and how we govern ourselves. These documents, hand in hand, help make us the organization you see today.
The 2024 House of Delegates will take place virtually. This meeting is open and free to all AMSA members. Please register below to receive important updates and the meeting login information. Contact events@amsa.org with questions.
Resolution Submissions Deadline: December 20th, 2023
