Reinvest in Your Professional Development

Avoid a lapse in your AAMSE benefits by renewing your membership. Renewing is not just a reinvestment in AAMSE— it is a reinvestment in your professional development. 

Maintain access to the programs and resources that are relevant to your career and remain part of AAMSE's nationwide network of medical society professionals by renewing your membership. 

Renewing under the new membership structure

Beginning with the 2013 dues cycle, all renewals will take place under AAMSE's new membership structure.

Your organization has a designated main contact who will submit renewal information for the organization as a whole. During the renewal process, the main contact will submit basic information (name, title, email, phone number) for all individual staff members who are included in your organization's membership.

Based on the total number of staff included, the main contact will select your organization's membership tier level which will determine its annual dues. 

Once your organization's membership renewal is processed, all individual members who have been AAMSE members in the past will be renewed, and any new members will be added to the organization's membership roster.

Renewing organizations are encouraged to add new staff to their memberships in order to expand the AAMSE network and enhance the member experience. Don't forget: cost-per-member decreases as you add more staff to your membership.

3 Easy Ways to Renew

• Visit the online membership application and submit your renewal and credit card information electronically 
• Print the paper membership form and mail or fax it to AAMSE with credit card information or a check
  
•  *Submit your renewal information via the online membership application and then generate an invoice that you can mail or fax to AAMSE.

*A link to the invoice generator can be found on the payment information page of the online membership application.

 

If you have any questions about renewing your membership, please contact the AAMSE Executive Office at aamse@aamse.org or (414) 221-9275.

We're Listening...

As the Annual Conference Program Committee (ACPC) came together last month in St. Louis at the beautiful Ritz-Carlton Hotel, much emphasis was applied to what AAMSE members want and need. The question is: How do we know what you want or need?

After completion of the 2012 Annual Conference, all members (whether you attended or not) were sent a survey requesting feedback on the conference. Those who did attend were asked to comment on individual goals and expectations, quality of speakers, venue and networking opportunities. Conversely, those who were unable to attend were asked what factors influenced your decision. In addition, looking toward the 2013 Annual Conference, all members were asked to comment on the types of programming and specific topics you want to see in St. Louis.

Shortly after the post-conference survey, a call for topics was released. This call went to all current and past AAMSE members as well as Industry Partners and vendors and was also made available through links on the AAMSE website and social media channels. You not only offered terrific session topics, but even suggested specific, dynamic speakers! As the ACPC begins the educational programming for 2013, your comments and suggestions are not going un-noticed.

Your suggestions, coupled with core competencies that every medical society professional should have, have allowed the ACPC to take a strategic approach in meeting your needs. “Our goal is to make sure that every AAMSE member will experience a stellar and fun conference next summer. This includes making sure there is programming for each member based on their type of society, job function, length of time in their position and issues facing their physician community and their society,” says Susan D’Antoni of Montgomery County Medical Society, Chair of the ACPC. “The ACPC is member-focused and member-driven!”

As planning continues to make the 2013 Annual Conference programming a mixture of rich and timely content, we want you to know, we’re listening.

Mark your calendar now for the 2013 Annual Conference, July 17-20 in St. Louis!

Upcoming Webinar: ACA Implementation Post-SCOTUS

A Special EDWeb Event:

ACA Implementation Post-SCOTUS: Moving Forward

Thursday, August 16

10-11:30 AM CT

Cost: $50.00*

Featuring: Richard Deem, SVP, Advocacy, American Medical Association

AAMSE is hosting a special webinar to help medical societies understand the implications of the recent ruling to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). 

The June 2012 Supreme Court (SCOTUS) decision left nearly all of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act intact, including the individual mandate. One policy change triggered by the Supreme Court decision would allow states to opt out of the law's expansion of Medicaid to cover childless adults up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level. The Court's decision on Medicaid has left many in the healthcare community with more questions than answers. 

This webinar will explore the implications of the Court's decision and what's next for physicians and their patients in implementation of the ACA.  

Richard Deem, Senior Vice President of Advocacy at the American Medical Association, will discuss ACA implementation issues and will answer your questions during this special event. 

For more information and to register, visit the webinar information page. 

* AAMSE members qualify for FREE registration. Check your email for additional details or contact aamse@aamse.org.
