Charter
Draft Charter
The Council is a trusted network of Chief Executive Officers
engaged in implementing the strategic goals and objectives of a
premier medical group organization, and providing leadership toward
achieving the organization’s philosophy, mission, strategy, and
objectives. Members of the Council are committed to sharing ideas,
strategies and information with colleagues facing similar challenges
and to building stronger professional connections with their peers
in similar positions and organizations. Council members must be
willing to actively work together on mutually beneficial studies,
projects or other activities which can accelerate collective
learning, reduce the costs of innovation and discovery, and
facilitate the transfer of new knowledge to the larger community of
AMGA members.
Council Member Objectives and Responsibilities
- Identify gaps in information, data, or benchmarks needed by Council members to be more effective in their jobs
- Help keep AMGA staff apprised of current issues and challenges being faced within member medical groups
- Participate in studies, projects, or other activities determined to be priorities by the Council
- Willingly and openly share ideas, strategies, and information with other members of the Council
- Agree to attend all Council meetings and events

Membership Criteria
Only Chief Executive Officers, or others who fulfill a similar
role, who are employed within AMGA member groups are eligible to
participate in the Council. There will be no limit to the number of
members in the Council, and there is no limit to the number of
eligible individuals from any AMGA member group. However, the
Council may be divided into sub-groups should the Council leadership
decide that a group has become too large to effectively serve the
needs of the members. Each member agrees to keep its membership
current by payment of annual fees of $150.00.
Meetings and Communication
The Council will meet a minimum of twice each year. One of the
semi-annual meetings will coincide with AMGA’s Annual Conference,
and will provide an opportunity for all Council’s to get together at
a luncheon. The second meeting will occur approximately six months
out from the Annual Meeting and will include a Council dinner with
an invited guest speaker. In addition to these meetings, AMGA will
provide a menu of communication vehicles for the Council, including:
- A dedicated listserv to allow for continual exchange of information among the Council members
- Regularly scheduled teleconferences with presentations from thought leaders and content experts
- Facilitated work groups around topics identified by Council members. Each work group will be staffed by AMGA
- Council newsletter written by participants and other “experts”
- A dedicated page on AMGA’s website with useful links recommended by Council participants and additional links to other Council pages.
