Resolutions for the AAMDC Fall 2016 Convention Now Available

The resolutions that will be presented during the resolutions session at the AAMDC Fall 2016 Convention are now available. Members are encouraged to review the attached resolutions package in advance of the resolutions session on November 16, 2016. Resolutions will be printed in the convention handbook for reference.

Emergent Resolutions

As per the AAMDC’s resolution process policy, an emergent resolution is defined as one submitted to the AAMDC after the resolution deadline (October 17, 2016 for the Fall 2016 Convention) that deals with a subject or problem that has arisen subsequent to the deadline. The AAMDC Resolutions Committee will review any resolutions that have been submitted after the resolution deadline and determine if they meet the definition of emergent. If the resolution is deemed to be emergent in nature, it will come to the convention floor through the appropriate process. The member bringing forward the emergent resolution must, at their own expense, provide copies for voting members in attendance (minimum 600).

Any members who intend to bring forward an emergent resolution for consideration are encouraged to advise a member of the AAMDC Resolutions Committee or Tasha Blumenthal at tasha@aamdc.com as soon as possible.

Committee members are as follows:

  • Chair – Tom Burton, AAMDC District 4 Director,  tburton@aamdc.com or 780.512.1558
  • District 1 – Ben Elfring, MD of Taber
