Procedures of the House of Delegates

The Arizona Medical Association House of Delegates constitutes the voting body of the association and is composed of representatives from county medical societies, direct members, medical students and specialty and subspecialty societies.

The house meets at least once a year at the annual meeting, but special meetings may be held at any time, with appropriate notice, at the call of the board, or upon the call of 20 delegates with delegate representation from at least three county societies.

The house elects all officers and directors of the association except the president, immediate past president and outgoing past president, who shall assume their offices in the year next following their terms as president-elect, president, and immediate and past president. Members of the association who are officers or trustees of the American Medical Association, the editor-in-chief, and the dean of the University of Arizona College of Medicine shall automatically be members of the board, without election. The house votes on all memorials and resolutions presented to it; instructs the board on its wishes respecting the operations of the association; when necessary, amends the articles and bylaws; and holds all powers and duties not otherwise specifically delegated.
