State Medical Society Membership Requirements
State Medical Society Membership Requirements State Medical Society Representation‐ Updated June 2013 Recently, ASAM staff contacted each state medical society requesting required procedures for ASAM chapters to obtain official membership in the medical society’s governing body. Below are the responses received – Alaska: ASMA’s current bylaws call for House of Delegate members to be elected by the local medical society. There is no representation of specialty societies within the House of Delegates. Arizona: A state specialty or subspecialty society with 250 or fewer members shall be entitled to representation in the House of Delegates by one delegate and a specialty or subspecialty society with more than 250 members shall be entitled to 2 delegates if (1) the specialty or subspecialty is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties; (2) the specialty or subspecialty society has a minimum of twenty members practicing in Arizona; (3) the specialty or subspecialty society maintains an existing organization or structure with a slate of periodically elected officers, a constitution and bylaws and a frequency of meeting at least once a year; (4) by a vote of the House it shall be deemed to be in the best interests of the Association. Specialty or subspecialty society delegates shall be the society president or designee(s) who shall be members of the Association (http://www.azmed.org/arma‐governance). California: Each statewide specialty organization recognized by the House of Delegates shall be entitled to one (1) delegate and one (1) alternate. Specialty organizations having five hundred (500) or more members who are regular active members of CMA shall have one (1) additional delegate and alternate, plus one additional delegate and alternate for each full five hundred (500) members thereafter who are regular active members of CMA. -

2021 House of Delegates Apportionment
Memo to: Executive Directors Constituent Medical Associations From: James L. Madara, MD Date: February 3, 2021 Subject: 2021 Constituent Society Delegate Apportionment I am pleased to provide delegate apportionment figures for 2021. Last year our American Medical Association (AMA) again experienced membership growth, but the House of Delegates will be approximately the same size as it was in 2020. The 54 states and territories in the House of Delegates will be apportioned 306 delegates. I should note at the outset that the data used to apportion delegates are not comparable to our AMA’s official membership figures. You will recall that delegate apportionment from 2020 through 2022 includes pending members, and while the number of such members at the end of 2019 grew the House considerably, the numbers at the end of 2020 did not, thus leaving the House of Delegates at more or less the same size it was last year. Delegate apportionment for 2021 is based on official AMA membership records as of December 31, 2020. Those records include both members and pending members, individuals who are not members at the time they pay their dues to become members in the following year. Apportionment includes members who joined during calendar year 2020 (this would include renewing members), pending members for 2021, and those pending members from late-2019 who had renewed their memberships in the Association for 2021. This comports with Bylaw 2.1.1.1, which states, “The December 31 count will include pending members for purposes of apportionment; however, pending members shall not be recounted the following year absent membership renewal.” Stated differently, one must be a pending member in consecutive years to be counted for apportionment purposes.
