As an MMA member, you have many opportunites to shape policy and select leaders. Learn more about the way the MMA is governed.
MMA House of Delegates
The MMA House of Delegates develops policies and elects MMA officers, the Board of Trustees, and delegates to the AMA House of Delegates during the MMA Annual Meeting. Delegates, who represent component medical societies, specialty societies, and sections of the MMA discuss and adopt resolutions, consider and approve the MMA annual budget, and accept reports on MMA activities. Adopted resolutions set MMA policy and often call for specific MMA action.
MMA Annual Meeting
MMA members are welcome to attend the MMA Annual Meeting where delegates set policy, elect officers and the AMA delegation; awards are given to honor outstanding achievement; and the president is inaugurated.
MMA Officers
MMA officers are elected each year by the MMA House of Delegates. Any MMA member may nominate a candidate.

Other members of the Minnesota AMA delegation are non-voting members of the board. Between meetings of the Board of Trustees, its Executive Committee meets to make decisions.
