Elections - Board Nomination Period Ending Soon

Nomination Deadline: November 19, 2004 


Nominations are now being accepted for three At-Large positions on the AAEM Board of
Directors. All current, full voting members of AAEM are eligible to run. Self-nominations
are allowed and encouraged.

Elections for these positions will be held at AAEM's 11th  Annual Scientific Assembly,
February 17-19, 2005, at the Hilton Torrey Pines in San Diego, California. 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
send the following information to the AAEM office before November 19, 2004:

1. Name of nominee. 
2. Name of nominee's medical school and year graduated. 
3. Board certification status of nominee, including Board and year completed. 
4. Number of ED clinical hours worked each week by the nominee. 
5. A candidate statement (written by the nominee, 500 word max.) listing recent AAEM
contributions, accomplishments, activities, or any other information detailing why the
nominee should be elected to the Board.

6. Any Emergency Medicine related business activity in which the nominee has a financial
interest. 

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 member with their
membership renewal packets.

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 member can be
nominated and elected to the Board of Directors.
