We will be providing regular communications leading up to the 2025 Interim Meeting to ensure you have the information you need and are aware of important dates and deadlines. We also encourage you to regularly check the AMA HOD Interim Meeting page which will be updated as information becomes available.
We need you! I-25 volunteer application
We are currently accepting applications to serve on reference committees (other than F), Rules & Credentials Committee and as tellers for the 2025 Interim Meeting. Please complete the I-25 HOD Committee Volunteer Form and indicate all positions for which you would be interested in serving. You must complete this form to be considered for service at I-25 as previous forms are not retained. The deadline to submit the volunteer form is Friday, Sept. 5, 2025, at noon Central.
All reference committees will meet virtually between Friday, Oct. 31, and Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, for their preliminary executive session and report reviews. The Preliminary Reference Committee Reports must be completed in time to be posted on Nov. 7, 2025, at 5 p.m. Central. Volunteers are asked to be available during this window for these meetings.
I-25 resolution submission
The HOD office will begin accepting resolutions for I-25 on Monday, Aug. 25, 2025. Resolutions must be submitted and approved by Sept. 30, 2025, at noon Central to be considered on-time. Resolutions adopted and forwarded by the AMA section meetings held after this date and prior to the HOD opening session are excepted.
Please note that it can take at least 24 hours for resolutions to be reviewed and approved as to proper formatting and content after submission. Resolutions will not be accepted as on-time if any requested revisions have not been addressed by the sponsor by the stated deadline. Your speakers urge you to submit your resolutions well in advance to avoid any issues.
Questions about drafting resolutions?
The HOD office and the AMA Office of General Counsel will conduct resolution office hours to answer any questions while preparing resolutions for submission. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to expedite approval of your resolutions once submitted.
Call (312) 464-4492 to have your resolution questions answered. Staff from each department will be available by telephone at these dates/times:
- Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2025: 9–11 a.m. Central
- Thursday, Sept. 11, 2025: 2–4 p.m. Central
