A true leadership experience
In today's health care landscape, where regulatory and administrative burdens rule the workplace, it's clear that everyday leadership is needed. Through collaboration with peers and colleagues, you can make a difference for your patients, practice, and community. With you, everyday leadership is achievable.
The Annual Chapter Leader Forum (ACLF) is a valuable development opportunity for chapter-elected leaders, aspiring leaders, and chapter staff. ACLF draws more than 200 attendees each year and features sessions created for physician leaders and chapter staff around priority issues in leadership development, policy advocacy, board governance, communications, diversity, equity and inclusion in family medicine, and membership.
To help establish positive change, the National Conference of Constituency Leaders is the AAFP’s premier leadership development event for underrepresented constituencies, including: Women physicians; BIPOC physicians; New physicians; International medical graduate physicians; and LGBTQ+ physicians.

Advancing Leadership, Health Equity, and Belonging in Family Medicine
Presented by the AAFP's Center for Diversity, Health Equity, and Global Health, the pre-conference session highlights the vital role of Family Medicine in advancing leadership in health equity. This four-hour, pre-conference session offers three distinct training opportunities designed to meet attendees where they are on their leadership, health equity, advocacy, and social justice journeys. Facilitated discussions and participative workshops will get attendees ready to stand against injustices that cause health disparities and become change agents leading the way to health equity and social justice.
