Vice President of Membership

This is a two year term: the first year serving as Vice President for Membership-elect beginning on May 1 of this leadership year, and assuming the role of Vice President of Membership the following year.

The Vice President of Membership (VPM) and the Vice President for Membership-elect (VPM-e) will work alongside the Trustees to lend executive direction to AMSA membership, writ large. The VPM oversees the domestic Membership Directors (MDs) and works with them on engaging medical students and connecting members to the opportunities AMSA provides for medical students. They also assist the National President and provide updates on the status of membership, chapters and the MDs work. Additionally, they closely work with ACTE to facilitate communication between local chapters and national AMSA. This is a great opportunity for an AMSA influencer, community-builder and believer in change. AMSA-style.

In addition to the duties of all national officers, the VPM-e and Vice President for Membership (VPM) has several specific responsibilities. The Vice President-Elect assists the President of the association as needed. This includes acting as an information resource and a troubleshooter to assist the membership directors in performing their jobs. The VPM may also be asked to assume other duties as directed by the President, the BOT or the House of Delegates. This may include, but is not limited to, chairing ad hoc committees and special work groups, acting externally as the official AMSA representative, or sitting on other committees of the association.

Following Convention, the VPM pursues specific areas of interest to the Association based on his or her workplan. The VPM is often called upon to assist in Convention planning. During this time, as the Convention approaches, a greater time commitment is required.
