2025 Annual Meeting
As we prepare for the 2025 Annual Meeting, we encourage you to visit and bookmark the HOD Annual Meeting page. Information about the meeting including schedule, registration, housing and items of business will be added as they become available. As always, if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us at HOD@ama-assn.org.
A-25 resolution submissions
The HOD office is now accepting resolution submissions for the 2025 Annual Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates. AMA PolicyFinder has been updated with all actions from the 2024 Interim Meeting and is available for your reference. Detailed information about resolution submission along with resolution templates may be found on the process for submitting a resolution page.
The deadline for A-25 resolutions is April 22, 2025, at noon Central. Please note that it can take up to 24 hours for resolutions to be reviewed. Resolutions will not be accepted as on-time if any requested revisions have not been addressed by the sponsor by the stated deadline. Therefore, it is highly recommended that resolutions be submitted early to allow time for review and any necessary corrections. Resolutions adopted and forwarded by the AMA section meetings held after this date and prior to the HOD opening session are excepted.
Online reference committees
Resolutions accepted by the on-time deadline will be included in the Online Reference Committees (ORC) for review and comment. The ORC will open for comments on May 1 at 5 p.m. Central. At the request of our councils, the speakers have decided the ORC will close for general comments on May 22 at noon Central. Report and resolution authors will be allowed to provide comments until 5 p.m. Central that day. Any comments received after noon Central that are not from an author will be deleted.
A-25 volunteer application
We are still in need of volunteers to serve on reference committees (other than F), Rules & Credentials Committee and as assistant tellers for the 2025 Annual Meeting. Please complete the A-25 HOD Committee Volunteer Form and indicate all positions for which you would be interested in serving. You must complete this form to be considered for service at A-25 as previous forms are not retained. The deadline to submit the volunteer form is March 26, 2025, at noon Central.
All reference committees will meet virtually between May 24 and 29, 2025 for their preliminary executive session and report reviews. The Preliminary Reference Committee Reports must be completed in time to be posted on May 30, 2025. Volunteers are asked to be available during this window for these meetings.
