How AMCP Functions AMCP is governed by an elected, volunteer seven-member Board of Directors and an appointed Executive Director. Some of the Executive Director's primary responsibilities for the AMCP are strategic leadership and planning, administrative and financial operations, and relationship building. The Academy is built on a system of committee actions, linking the Academy with the attitudes and the real world of its members. Committees represent, involve, and serve members, as well as provide an important training ground for future leaders.
Effective committees unify, represent, motivate, coordinate, consolidate, and communicate.
They function best when their members are selected appropriately and they have a clearly defined mission, strong leadership, and competent staffing.
