AAMA Volunteer Opportunities
The American Academy of Medical Administrators was established by volunteers. It grows as a result of our members’ voluntary participation. Take the opportunity to share your skills and creativity by participating in AAMA. Some committees have year-round activity; some require short-term problem solving. All work by convenient, AAMA-supported Telephone Conference Calls (TCC) to use volunteer time more strategically and efficiently. However you would like to participate, there’s an AAMA or specialty group committee, task force, or independent project that will allow you to choose the volunteer opportunity that best fits your schedule and interests. Volunteer Options: review the different options for volunteering including expected time commitment.
