Two At-Large positions on the AAEM Board of Directors are
open as well as the Young Physicians Section (YPS) Director position. All
current full voting and YPS members of AAEM are eligible to run.

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 15th
Annual Scientific Assembly, March 2-4, 2009, at the Sheraton Phoenix Downtown
Hotel in Phoenix, AZ. 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 an At-Large Board position, please complete the nomination form found at
http://www.aaem.org/elections/2009nominationform.pdf and send the information
listed below to the AAEM office before December 2, 2008, at midnight CST. 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 an At-Large
Board position.

 

1. Name of nominee. Each nominee may have only three
individuals as nominators/endorsers.

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.

7. A copy of the nominee's CV.

 

The candidate statements from all those running for the
Board will be featured in an upcoming issue of "Common Sense" and a
ballot will be enclosed with this issue of "Common Sense."

 

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, a full voting or YPS member, can be
nominated and elected to the Board of Directors.
