It is refreshing to see someone interested in the office of AMA VP for District V step forward and open himself up to questions from the membership on this forum.

I hope that the incumbent will avail himself of this forum also to address issues of concern from the membership.


Perhaps some that have some influence with him might try and persuade him to participate.

Or if he is not comfortable with doing this how about one or more of his appointed AVPs jumping in for him?

Unfortunately only two of his AVPs have e-mail addresses published in any AMA media. None have mailing addresses so you will have to call them on the numbers listed below taken from the AMA web page under contact officers in
found in AMA under executive council.

Lets start with the two that have e-mails listed and see if they can help.

One wonders why District V AVPs are not listed like they are on the District reports in MA - most with mailing, telephone and e-mail. Look at the District reports - why is District V different? Why are not all the listings the same? Why are they not all modeled after D-II, III, IV and VII - with ALL the contact information listed?

Why?????
