Yes. Though he meets (barely per your inference) the published quals for the office he seeks to serve in, he's a mere commoner as he has not been inducted to membership in your exclusive GOB club, i.e., he is not an incumbent officer of the organization.
Tnx for the clarification.

Your unnecessarily snarky interpretation aside, you did grasp the fact that I was making it clear that he is not currently an incumbent or past holder of any position within the AMA. The AMA nominations committee clearly feels he has met the qualifications for the office, or he would not be on the ballot.
