Abstract

The AMCP Board of Directors appointed a Task Force on Leadership Development in 2021 with the charge to recommend a volunteer leadership structure that aligns with AMCP's contemporary needs and fosters the development of future Board members. Based on the Task Force's recommendations and with input from AMCP members, the AMCP Board of Directors amended AMCP's governance model in early 2023. The most notable changes involve the process for electing AMCP Board members and officers, which will be implemented for the 2024-25 election. The goal of the new election process is to assemble an effective Board with diverse experiences and complementary skills and attributes that will continue to lead AMCP into the future. In this viewpoint article, we share insights into the steps that led to these governance changes.
