Program Chairs
Selection Process
The ASLMS Central office initiates a formal call to the general membership for candidates interested in the Program Chair position. Applicants can also be encouraged to apply by ASLMS leaders by using the application document(s) required. The CE Provider Unit vets applicants per determined qualifications and submitted disclosures of financial relationships. The term of the Program Chair will be contemporaneous with that of the President who is responsible for recommending the final Program Chair selection(s) from the vetted applicants to the Board for formal approval. Up to two (2) Program Chairs may be appointed each year in addition to an optional Early Career Program Chair. Each of these individuals may not be an owner or employee of an ACCME-defined ineligible company. Current members of the CE Advisory Committee shall not be eligible to be selected as Program Chairs.
Term
The appointed Program Chair member(s) shall serve as Program Chair-Elect during the first year of the member’s term, Program Chair and Chairperson of the committee during the second year of the member’s term, and Past-Program Chair during the third year of the member’s term.
Qualifications
- Be a Fellow in the ASLMS for a minimum of three (3) years
- Have a minimum of three (3) years of experience related to managing, directing and/or serving as faculty for accredited CE educational programming for the ASLMS, for another accredited provider, or a combination thereof
- Must not be owners or employees of an ACCME-defined ineligible company. If a Program Chair’s disclosures are updated to reflect that they are an employee or owner of an ACCME-defined ineligible company, they must be dismissed. Disclosures include 24 months of history, but if an ownership or employee relationship has significantly changed, this may be considered as part of the mitigation process.
- Early Career Program Chair must no longer be in training and have been actively involved with ASLMS prior to their application.
Concepts Committee
Purpose
The committee’s primary function is to serve in a consultative, non-voting role, consistent with the Society’s agreed upon philosophies and policies. The committee serves as a supportive entity from which the CE Provider Unit consisting of ASLMS staff, the Outsourced Accredited CE Coordinator and the CE Advisory Committee members - may seek consultation and suggestions.
The committee may provide ideas and suggestions related to overall concepts for both educational and non-educational programming and activities (Annual Conference, pre-conference courses, regional courses, social events, etc.). This committee works closely with administrative staff and others responsible for obtaining suitable event space and working with committees responsible for organizing other activities not directly related to the educational aspects of the program. The committee will also review scholarship applications (if necessary) and select recipients from a cross section of specialties and locations both domestic and foreign.
