Somebody correct me if I am wrong here..... I believe there will need to be two positions up for election on the September ballot:
1.) AMA President
2.) AMA Executive Vice President
plus any DVP positions in that cycle.
So for the complainers you have your chance to make a difference in this years elections ....... unless it's all talk no action......................

Right you are about the elections, Mr. Brad.
Yes, there will be some big opportunities blowing in the wind. Letters of nomination from individual AMA members must arrive in AMA by June 16, 2011. Edited to add: ANY CURRENT OPEN AMA MEMBER can submit a nomination for his district's DVP or a national officer. "Git 'er done!"
From AMA Web site, public information: Not yet updated to include President.

BTW I am available for the Executive Vice President: Leader since 1964 and two terms elected as Dist. VI Vice President.
