 |
|
|
The Honorary Board of Standards for AAPM encourages local members to set up chapters and will
support the local chapter with logistical and financial support wherever possible. It only
takes a few members to get started and this is a great way to network and help the AAPM community
to stay active and informed. So how do you go about establishing a local chapter? Here are the steps |

|
| What are the responsibilities of the local chapter? | |

Q: |
What is required to sponsor a AAPM networking event? |
A: |
Typically events are hosted in a formal location like a 5-star hotel conference room or training
centre, along with drinks or snacks provided for the members. You can charge a nominal entry fee
for the event, but the room rental cost should be covered by the sponsor.
The sponsor will have the option of showing their logo at the event and the AAPM may provide advertising/marketing support depending on the size of the venue, including via the global websites. |

Q: |
Who can act as a local chapter officer, such as a President, and what are their duties? |
A: |
This is open to any members in the local AAPM area through petition and approval, but these should be
selected by the members in the local chapter. The time required to organize a local AAPM chapter is
minimal and you should not expect to spend more than a few hours a week. Local chapter officers can join the AAPM quarterly chapter administration conference call with the US and global teams to discuss the needs of the membership. Sanctioned local chapter officers may also elect to have their details listed on the AAPM website. |
