As a policy committee member, you influence the MMA’s direction, acquire new leadership skills and network with physicians who care about the same issues you do. It takes about eight hours a year (four evening meetings annually). For the time being, meetings will be held virtually via ZOOM.
If you are interested in serving on one of them or to learn more about the appointment process, please email Shari Nelson.
