An email will be sent to all members that have paid their 2020 membership dues and have a unique email address on file in our database. The email will include instructions on how to vote, a link to Election Buddy to vote and your unique login/password information. If you do not have a usable email address on file but have paid your dues you will receive a paper ballot in the mail with instructions to submit your vote. We will be sending out paper ballots on March 2^nd and email ballots on March 9^th.

President-Elect, Secretary/Treasurer, Delegate and Alternate Delegate to the AMA:

These elections will take place during the House of Delegates meeting with only those registered and credentialed Delegates being able to cast a vote. These elections will be run through Election Buddy and sent to your smart device as we have done in the past few years.

We hope you will join us in Columbus in March!
