Biennial General Meeting
The Biennial General Meeting (BGM) is the legitimate source of all authority for the AAHP. The BGM is where AAHP Members have the opportunity to debate and vote on policy priorities and future directions for the AAHP. This can include matters related to budgeting, member services, advocacy and more.
The BGM is held in odd numbered years, usually between April and June. AAHP’s On-site Representatives, Board of Directors and Executive Officers are automatic credentialed delegates. Other credentialed delegates are selected according to the process outlined in AAHP’s Constitution and By-Laws. All members of the Association can participate in the discussion and debate at the BGM. However, only credential delegates are entitled to a vote.
AAHP’s Constitution and By-Laws also allows for Special Meetings to be held when the BGM is not in session for matters that require the voice of the Membership and that cannot be delegated to the Board.
