ISMA district meetings are underway and will continue through the end of June. These annual meetings – held virtually this year – provide an opportunity to meet physician colleagues in your geographic area, chat with longtime friends and hear about member initiatives and legislative news from ISMA staff and local lawmakers. It’s also your chance to vote for district officers; in some districts this year, that includes trustees or alternate trustees who will serve as your voice in the ISMA House of Delegates and help set ISMA’s policy and legislative agenda.

Emails with detailed instructions on how to register for 2021 district meetings and elections have been sent, and links to register are below. If you haven’t already registered, please sign up at your earliest convenience.

To attend, you must register for the meeting using your ISMA login and password. After registration, you will receive a confirmation email that includes a calendar invitation and Zoom link for your specific meeting.
