You can find the requirements, the statements of needs for each position, and the application materials on the Committees, Councils, and Sections collaboration site (AAP login required). To be considered complete, an application must include a (1) factsheet, (2) biographical summary, (3) letter of nomination, and (4) letter of support. Once submitted, candidates will receive a request to complete their conflict of interest disclosure. Completion of this disclosure will finalize the application process.
As part of the AAP Equity Agenda, the Board of Directors is committed to increasing the percentage of members from groups underrepresented in medicine that are serving in Academy leadership positions. Diverse candidates in terms of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, or national origin are encouraged to apply. To ensure a diverse pool of applications, the call for nominations will be widely distributed.
The deadline for nominations is February 14, 2025. Nominees must submit the completed application package to their chapter president (AAP login required) and the AAP Nominations team. The AAP Board of Directors will meet in May 2025 to review nominations and make final appointments.
