IMG Governing Council Nomination Guidelines

Below are the guidelines from the 2009-2012 Governing Council nomination and election process:

  1. The Nominating Committee will certify and select a slate of up to fifteen candidates. From among these, four physician members will be elected to next year’s Governing Council.
  2. Terms are for three years beginning after the Annual Meeting in June.
  3. No member of the current Nominating Committee is eligible to be a candidate for the Governing Council in this election cycle.
  4. We would like to emphasize, as have all the previous nominating committees, the great importance of selecting a diverse group of individuals to represent the IMG Section. As has been the case in the previous three election cycles, we trust the voting members of the IMG Section members will make responsible choices for the future leadership of the IMG Section.
  5. Election results will be posted in May.
  6. Candidates must be able to attend all IMG Governing Council Meetings. Two meetings are held in conjunction with the AMA Interim and Annual Meetings. Two additional meetings are held, usually in March and August.

To be considered, candidate materials needed to comply with the following guidelines and submit the following materials:

  1. Submit the IMG Governing Council nomination form.
  2. Submit a biosketch form
  3. One passport size digital photo of the candidate. The photo will be used on the Web site to help voting members recognize individual candidates. The photograph must be mailed or e-mailed.

Candidates must be current AMA and IMG Section members.
