Our Chapter Struggles with...

  • Membership involvement, student and resident involvement
  • Attendance and involvement of members in state academy activities
  • Finances – geography (north, south, rural) – malpractice insurance stress
  • Membership – more regular meetings with the state legislature
  • Developing leaders in a planned fashion – understanding how we can coordinate our activities with the national academy’s agenda – creating and sustaining a strong and influential presence in the political and business communities – delivering a strong political message – creating collaborations with other physician groups
  • Identifying potential new leaders
  • Small rural chapter – long distance to travel anywhere
  • New membership – new leaders
  • Attendance at annual meetings – encouraging membership for non-member family physicians
  • Leadership development in new/young members
  • Recruiting new graduates to become active members
  • Helping our rural docs so they can get to state meetings – doctor of the day at legislature, etc. – helping implement and explore EHR and FFM program
  • Lack of interaction with national organization and other chapters
  • Keeping our older physicians active and engaged
  • Liability problems
  • Member involvement in legislative contacts – attendance at annual meetings
  • Revenue
  • Attendance/involvement/direction
  • Getting members involved – getting board members to take initiative to be involved in the leadership tract
  • Communicating back/forth with membership
