Plan now to attend the 2002 AAFP Annual Assembly. It begins with the Congress of Delegates Oct. 14 16 in Marriott Hall at the San Diego Marriott Hotel and Marina. The Scientific Assembly, with almost all of its CME sessions at the San Diego Convention Center, will be held Oct. 16 20. This year's Assembly keynote speaker will be attorney Philip Howard, chair of Common Good, a bipartisan coalition that advocates an entirely new medical justice system (see related story). For more information on the Scientific Assembly, go to http://www.aafp.org/assembly.xml.
Speak your mind at the reference committee hearings of the Congress of Delegates, AAFP's policy-making body, and listen to the debate during the general sessions of the Congress. Along with considering resolutions and recommendations, the Congress usually takes action on proposed Bylaws amendments. This year, no amendments were proposed, so there will be no need for a Reference Committee on Bylaws hearing.
The Congress will elect new Board members and officers Oct. 16. To see who's in the running, go to http://www.aafp.org/congress, click on "2002 Candidates" and supply your AAFP ID number. You'll find the candidates' personal statements and résumés plus a new service for members: You can ask candidates your questions -- and get their responses -- at the Web site.
