LGBTQ+ Section Governing Council

The strategy and activities of the LGBTQ+ Section are directed by a nine-member governing council elected by section membership. 

The LGBTQ+ Section Governing Council will hold a special election to fill a YPS liaison vacancy. The election will take place during the section business meeting on Friday, June 5, 2026.

We are seeking qualified applicants for this one-year term.

To be eligible, applicants must be members of the AMA as well as both the YPS and LGBTQ+ sections. While YPS will endorse a candidate for this position, any member who meets these criteria is welcome to apply.

Submit the application. The deadline for submissions is May 17, 2026.
