The Governance Committee oversees the process for nominating and electing Masters and Fellows of the College to the Board of Regents (BOR) and is beginning the process of seeking Regents to join the Board in April 2021.
The Governance Committee strives to represent the diversity within internal medicine on ACP's Board of Regents. Important general qualifications include commitment to ACP, dependability, leadership qualities, and the ability to represent the College in numerous and diverse arenas. Regent nominees must be Fellows or Masters of the College. Nominees for Regent should also be prepared and qualified to serve as members of the ACP Services Board of Directors, a position they will also assume if elected to the Board.

All materials must be received by Sept. 1 or the nomination will not be advanced to the Governance Committee.
