Meetings and Communication
The Quality 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

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”

recommended by Council participants and additional links to other
Council pages.
