Annual Meeting FAQs


Annual Meeting FAQ's 

What business is conducted by members at the Annual Meeting?
Registered members at the Annual Meeting elect officers, including directors, and elect the members of the Board Development (Nominating) Committee for the following year. The registered members consider amendments proposed by the Bylaws Committee to the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, Policy, and Rules of Procedure.

Who is eligible to attend the Annual Meeting?
The Bylaws Committee and the Board of Directors would like to clear up any confusion about the structure of voting in the Annual Meeting format, which was adopted by the AMA Alliance in June 2010. 

There will be very few changes in the actual procedure.  The main change will be that states will not be allotted a specific number of delegates for voting purposes.  Any member, whose membership in the AMAA allows voting privileges, will be allowed to register and vote.  This means that there will no longer be a restriction on the number of votes per state.  This will also mean that members who register and attend will all be allowed to sit together with their state rather than being separated out by delegate, alternate, and guest.  It is still appropriate for the states to refer to the group attending as a delegation and to appoint one person to be the head of the delegation.  Having a one person designated as the chief delegate is helpful for communication purposes.
