What is a Councilor expected to do?
Governance - Council members will attend three meetings of the Council each year (two virtual and one in-person). The Council is the Chapter’s official decision-making group of ACP Fellows and Masters who have the authority to handle all business matters requiring review and final action.
Communicate with Colleagues - The Council member, working along with the District President, is the liaison between leadership and local NYACP members. It is the responsibility of the Council member to communicate to local colleagues the many programs and services provided by the Chapter. The Councilor will provide feedback to the NYACP Council/Board on membership needs and emerging issues.
Promote Membership and Fellowship- Councilors are asked to help with membership recruitment, retention and Advancement to ACP Fellowship.
Educational Planning - Councilors work with the District President to assist with local events, encourage member participation, and support the local internal medicine community.
