Serving As a Board Member

Board Duties:

• Establish policy, determine programs, approve the annual budget, and represent ACMS to the medical community.
• Provide ongoing direction for planning, operation, and evaluation of ACMS and its Foundation's activities and programs.
• Appoint, oversee and support the Executive Director.

Board Terms:  All terms are one-year at a time commitments, from November-October each year. However board service is a successive plan with members serving in an at-large position for up to four years before moving into the secretary/treasurer, president-elect, president, and past-president for one year at a time.

Applicants should be prepared to serve a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 8 years on the board. It is light monthly service, but a long-term commitment.

Board Meetings: Applicants must be available to attend the majority of monthly meetings on the second Monday from 12-1 PM in Downtown Boise.

Nominations: You may apply at any time during the year long, but self-nominations are due by September 30. In October, the board will select a new at-large board member from the pool of nominees to fill its open position(s).

Resident Representative: Boise residency programs may submit a candidate for election by the board by March 31st of each year if there is a pending vacancy.

Other Committees: There are multiple committees and work groups to get involved with, even if you are not a board member. Take a look at our current opportunities.
