AAFP chapter membership
Your state AAFP chapter membership brings new connections, new resources to support your career and new advocacy involvement opportunities.
As a member, AAFP requires you to belong to your designated chapter as well as the national organization. The AAFP has a chapter for each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Uniformed Services, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
Chapters let you connect with colleagues more easily, on the local or regional level. And chapter membership comes with its own set of benefits.
Local and regional continuing medical education (CME)
Networking and mentoring opportunities
Opportunities to get involved in chapter- and state-level leadership
Resources that support your career development and well-being
Chances to engage in advocacy efforts at the local and state levels to advance the specialty
Three benefits of being active in your chapter
Each chapter sends two members to serve at AAFP Congress of Delegates
These delegates represent the chapter in AAFP’s decision-making body
Chapter leadership positions are a natural pathway to national positions
How chapters influence AAFP policy
Two members from each AAFP chapter serve as delegates to the AAFP Congress of Delegates, the organization’s policy-making body. AAFP members can submit resolutions requesting their chapter or national organization take action on issues they’d like to see addressed. Resolutions are considered first at the chapter level, where leadership determines whether they should be submitted to the Congress of Delegates.
