COVID-19 statement
At this time the AMA Annual Meeting is still set to take place, but the Board of Trustees and senior management are monitoring the situation and developments and will take necessary actions, and keep the House, Sections and Federation apprised.
The AMA continues to work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health departments to monitor and respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. The AMA will take appropriate precautionary measures to support the health and safety of attendees at the 2020 Annual Meeting. As this is an evolving situation, we will update this page as needed.

Resolution dates
Per AMA Bylaws, “on-time” resolutions are those that are received by close of business on May 7. In order to accommodate processing deadlines, only those resolutions that are received by Wednesday, April 29, will appear in the initial Handbook. Resolutions received after that date will be included in the Handbook Addendum or distributed onsite as necessary.
AMA bylaws provide an exception for a society whose policymaking body adjourns during the five week period preceding commencement of an HOD meeting (on or after May 2). These organizations are allowed seven days after their adjournment to submit resolutions, except that such resolutions must be received by noon, Friday, June 5. Access reports and resolutions considered by the House as well as reference committee reports and final actions—as they become available.
Materials presented at the HOD Annual Meeting are generated by AMA delegates/delegations, the AMA Board of Trustees, AMA councils and AMA sections.
*DISCLAIMER: Readers of this material are reminded that it refers only to items to be considered by the House. No action has been taken on anything herein contained and it is informational only. Only those items that have been acted upon by the House can be considered official.
