Membership

The purpose of the AMPA Membership Committee is to maintain and develop the membership of AMPA.  This includes recruitment of new members from other unique sources as well as being involved in the maintenance of the current membership in terms of reaching out to lapsed members and determining the reasons for a member leaving.   This role may be to reach out to “prospective” members, i.e. individuals who have registered for an AMPA product or whom have purchased a textbook but are not members. The AMPA membership committee will also vet applications for FAMPA as well as Distinguished Physician and Medical Director of the Year Awards.
