All Indiana State Medical Association members are invited to attend the 174th Annual ISMA Convention from Sept. 8-10 at the Embassy Suites in Plainfield. The centerpiece of the convention is the annual meeting of the ISMA House of Delegates (HOD), when representatives from around the state discuss and vote on resolutions. Adopted resolutions become part of ISMA policy and set the organization’s legislative agenda. The weekend also includes numerous opportunities to celebrate and share fellowship with colleagues, including the IMPAC Social and President’s Night Celebration.

Declaration of Candidacy for ISMA Office
ISMA officers are elected at the annual HOD meeting and serve one-year terms. Delegates and alternate delegates to the AMA serve two-year terms and are elected on a staggered basis.

To be eligible for ISMA officer or AMA delegation positions, a candidate must have been an active member of ISMA for the preceding two years. Candidates may declare their intent to run for office at any time before elections are held. Only candidates who submit the form will be announced in ISMA Reports and on the ISMA website.  

Nominations may be made at any session of the HOD so that nominations remain open until elections occur at the annual convention. View current leadership.
