How We Are Organized The policies and agenda of the MMA are developed by the MMA House of Delegates. The number of delegates is determined by the overall membership of a group. The House of Delegates meets at the Annual Meeting. At the Annual Meeting, the House of Delegates debates and adopts resolutions put forth by MMA members, considers and approves the MMA annual budget, and accepts reports on prior activities. Resolutions may be proposed by any member and may be amended during debate.
Many resolutions set forth future tasks and activities.
Many of these tasks are deferred to the Board of Trustees for oversight and administration. Non-voting members of the Board of Trustees consist of American Medical Association leadership and delegates. The Board of Trustees meets frequently throughout the year. Much of the ongoing work of the Board of Trustees is accomplished through committees and task forces. The Board of Trustees has established 12 standing committees and several task forces.
