Register now for the 175th Annual ISMA Convention
Convention weekend is just a month away!

All Indiana State Medical Association members are invited to attend the 175th Annual ISMA Convention from Sept. 6-8 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. Additional special events, including an all-day Physician Wellness Symposium on Sept. 6, are also being added to the convention weekend schedule to celebrate the association’s 175th year.

One of our goals for the 175th is to fill ALL of the delegate seats at convention, so please plan on attending this fall!
