Board of Trustees Application

The MAOPS Board of Trustees is an elected body made up of members elected by the general membership of MAOPS. Trustee terms are three years in length and renewable for a total of two consecutive terms. The Board is authorized to conduct the business of the association under adopted bylaws and policies. The Board usually meetings three-four times annually, with the President and/or Trustees having the authority to call additional meetings as needed.

Trustees are elected to represent the membership of MAOPS. Through Trustees, members have the opportunity to voice their concerns and discuss the issues facing osteopathic physicians, the profession, and medicine. Per policy, MAOPS Board of Trustees are expected to:

• Attend and fully participate in all Board meetings;

• Participate in all MAOPS leadership development, membership and fundraising events;

• Put self-interest aside for the best interest of MAOPS;
• Communicate electronically and respond promptly to staff and leader communications;
• Prepare ahead of time for all Board meetings;
• Think for the future of MAOPS and be willing to change for the better;
