Council Resolutions Due in July
The deadline to submit resolutions for the 2012 American College of Emergency Physicians Council meeting is rapidly approaching. College members who would like the Council to consider a resolution, which includes background information and a proposed course of action, must submit the material by e-mail, fax, or postal service by July 9.
Each resolution must be sponsored by at least two College members. In the case of sponsorship by a chapter or section, a letter of endorsement from the president or chair of the sponsoring body must accompany the resolution.
When writing a resolution, there is a general format to follow. Guidelines can be found on ACEP’s website, www.acep.org, in the Leadership area of the “About Us” section, along with a helpful article, “Make a Difference: Write that Council Resolution.”
Receipt of resolutions will be acknowledged by e-mail or phone. If you have questions, please contact Sonja Montgomery at ACEP headquarters, 800-798-1822, ext. 3202.
The 2012 resolutions to be considered will be publicly posted 30 days before the Council meeting. This year’s meeting is scheduled for Oct. 6-7, prior to ACEP’s Scientific Assembly in Denver.
