Item 1. That TAFP nominate Dr. Lindsay Botsford for Chair of the AAFP Commission on 18 Quality and Practice and Dr. Ajay Gupta for the AAFP Commission on Finance and 19 Insurance. 20 21 BACKGROUND 22 Both are in their fourth year on their respective commissions and are eligible for chair.

29 BACKGROUND 30 The committee reviewed TAFP members serving on AAFP Commissions and discussed 31 nominations for 2017. There were seven members nominated in 2016 and one – Dr. Ike Okwuwa – 32 was appointed. Five of those nominated in 2016 are interested in being nominated again and two 33 additional members are interested in being nominated. The Nominating Committee recommends 34 that the following members be nominated in 2017. They noted that there are more than one 35 nominee for some commissions but felt that it would give AAFP more options for appointment. 36 37

The Committee took action at its meeting that resulted in the following recommendations for staff 38 implementation or referral to other commissions and committees. These items do not require Board 39 approval. Should staff find that the time needed for implementation exceeds five hours, the item 40 should be referred to the Board for approval before proceeding. 41 42

1. The committee decided to select one nominee for the Delegate, Alternate Delegate, President-1 elect, Treasurer and Vice President positions and allow multiple nominees for the 2 Parliamentarian, At Large and New Physician position if there were sufficient qualified 3 candidates. They arranged to meet with all candidates in attendance at Interim Session. 4

2. The committee reviewed candidates for the TAFP Board of Directors. Delegates to the 5 Member Assembly will elect one member to serve in the At Large and New Physician 6 positions at the Annual Session in November 2017. After meeting with candidates and 7 discussing their qualifications, the Nominating Committee puts forth the following slate of 8 candidates for the two positions: 9

6. The committee reviewed the future leaders list and recommended inclusion of Dr. Shiv 27 Agarwal and Dr. Leo Lopez. Staff will survey the entire Future Leaders list to determine if 28 they are still interested in leadership, what leadership rolls they are in with other 29 organizations, what they see as their next step with TAFP and whether they want to be paired 30 with a mentor or contacted by a current leader to discuss opportunities. 31

7. The committee discussed the presentation of candidates for election at the Member Assembly 32 and suggested that in addition to the current profile included in the magazine that the 33 candidates be asked to fill out a Q&A that is shared with Delegates and Alternates before the 34 Member Assembly. Staff will also be looking into the logistics of using video for some 35 positions rather than live speeches. 36

8. The committee discussed evaluating the committees and commissions to improve our 37 governance process. Staff will look into including evaluation questions in the TAFP 38 conference app at Annual Session. The questions will include an opportunity to suggest 39 topics for the next agenda. 40

Nominating Committee 4.A. 2018 Nominations

October 2017

Following is the application used for 2017 and the standing rules for nominations that we adopted last year. We changed the process a bit last year. We sent emails to all active members with reminders to those most likely to apply (current committee members, FMLE alumni, those on our Future Leader List and those who have applied in the past). The members were instructed to contact me if they were interested and I sent them an email in reply with instructions to nominate themselves and the link to the Google Form. I think this worked really well. Instead of being uncertain whether anyone would apply, I had a list that I could follow up with and they had already established contact with me. I recommend we continue.

In my response email, I asked that in addition to the application, a letter of interest from the member, a letter of recommendation from their local chapter or another TAFP member, and a CV be submitted. The application asks the candidate to state why they would like to serve, so I suggest that we not require a letter of interest in the future. I also suggest that we state a page limit on the CV.


Standing Rules for Nominations for TAFP leadership positions

Nominating Committee Standing Rules Adopted April 2016, revised November 2016

The Nominating Committee is composed of nine members and is charged with screening nominations for TAFP’s elected leadership positions, identifying potential future leaders, and recommending members to nominate for AAFP Commissions, TMA councils and to represent TAFP to the TMA Interspecialty Society. Each year they propose a slate of candidates for election at TAFP’s Member Assembly during Annual Session. The information below is intended to provide a clearer picture of the process. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the chair of the Nominating Committee or Kathy McCarthy at [email protected].

Call for nominations

Once a year, active members will receive an email with a call for nominations providing the opportunity for all to nominate themselves for TAFP officer, delegate and Board of Director positions. The request directs interested members to submit a new officer/board member application, letter of interest, letter of recommendation, and CV to the TAFP headquarters. The deadline provided will be early enough that if we fail to have a sufficient number of interested members apply, staff and the committee have time to further promote the opportunity and extend the deadline. Whether to consider applicants without all of the requested documents or after the deadline has passed is at the committee’s discretion.

Nominating Committee meeting

The applicants may be asked to appear and discuss their interest with the Nominating Committee. This is not required for nomination. The Nominating Committee generally meets early on the Saturday of Interim Session. Applicants may want to make themselves available and check with staff on scheduling.

Slate of nominees

The bylaws state the committee will prepare a slate of nominees for election by the Member Assembly at Annual Session but they do not stipulate whether the committee should nominate one member per position or multiple members to allow a contested election. Historically, the committee has presented one nominee for each of the officer and delegate positions and since the governance change, the committee has presented multiple nominees for the At-Large and New Physician positions on the Board of Directors. The Nominating Committee intends to continue presenting a single member for each delegate position and the officer positions of President-elect, Treasurer and Vice President, but will strive to present 2-4 nominees for Parliamentarian and the At-Large and New Physician positions on the Board.

The evaluation of candidates will include an assessment of experience and service to TAFP, leadership training, and demonstration of skillsets and areas of expertise essential to the Board of Directors. While not required, members are encouraged to serve on one or more TAFP committees or commissions prior to applying for a position on the Board. Further, serving as chair of a TAFP committee or commission will strengthen a nomination.


mailto:[email protected]

Nominating Committee members as nominees

Current members of the Nominating Committee are not prohibited from applying for elected positions but the committee will strive to be fair to all candidates. Such a committee member applicant will be excused from the meeting for the duration of the selection process for that position including interviewing of other candidates, discussion, and voting on the slate.

Other paths to election

Should a nominee not be selected for the slate, the committee may provide feedback on experience or training suggested to improve their chances of selection in the future. There are two other pathways to election provided in the TAFP Bylaws:

1. A component chapter may nominate any active member for the elected positions of the Academy. This nomination must be submitted in writing to the President at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the Annual Session. If a component chapter is inactive, five members in good standing of that component chapter may submit a nomination. The President will notify the Board of Directors of all nominations for all elected positions at least 60 days prior to the beginning of the Annual Session.

2. Nominations may be made from the floor at the Annual Session Member Assembly.

Member Assembly election

Candidates are normally profiled in Texas Family Physician and/or online prior to Annual Session to allow members to get to know them before the election. The nominees for Parliamentarian and the At-Large and New Physician positions on the Board of Directors may be asked to speak at the Member Assembly or on pre-recorded video. All positions are elected by a majority vote of credentialed delegates in accordance with the standing rules of the Member Assembly.

Standing Rules for TAFP Member Assembly

Adopted November 2016

These Standing Rules of the TAFP Member Assembly can be amended by a majority vote at the start of each meeting of the Member Assembly.

1. The TAFP Member Assembly shall be convened once a year during the TAFP Annual Session and Primary Care Summit at a time and place to be determined by the TAFP CEO. Admission to the sessions shall be limited to members and other CME attendees who display a badge issued by TAFP.

2. TAFP’s President shall serve as Chair of the Member Assembly. 3. The order of business shall be outlined in an agenda for the meeting, which shall be distributed

electronically prior to the session. The chair may change the order of business. 4. The American Institute of Parliamentarians Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure (most recent

edition) shall govern the Member Assembly except when this code is in conflict with the TAFP Bylaws or the Standing Rules of the Member Assembly.

5. The Member Assembly shall elect officers, Delegates to the AAFP, and members of the TAFP Board of Directors, and it shall act on business specifically referred by the Board of Directors.

6. The delegates to the Assembly may, by majority vote, approve a referendum for submission to the members of TAFP on questions affecting the policy or recommendations of the Academy. The option to bring a referendum to the Member Assembly for consideration should be used as the last resort for a member wishing to raise concerns. TAFP members wishing to have a concern addressed are encouraged to first contact the chair of the relevant committee or commission. TAFP’s committees and commissions are open to guests unless they are in executive session. If a member is not satisfied with the response of a committee, that member should then address his or her concerns with the Board of Directors. If the Member Assembly approves a referendum, the item must be submitted to the entire membership for a vote.

7. Each local chapter shall have delegates and alternates in proportion to the number of members in their chapter as of June 1 each year. Chapters with 1-49 members shall have one delegate and one alternate, chapters with 50-99 members shall have two delegates and two alternates, chapters with 100 to 199 members shall have three delegates and three alternates, chapters with 200 to 299 members shall have four delegates and four alternates and so on.

8. Local chapters will be given an opportunity to select delegates and alternates. If a chapter has not submitted the names of members of their delegates and alternates to TAFP staff at least 60 days prior to the start of the Annual Session, TAFP staff will contact members and assign delegates on a first-come, first-served basis.

9. In addition to chapter delegates, the Section on Special Constituencies, the Section on Resident Physicians, and the Section on Medical Students shall each elect two delegates and two alternates at their Interim Session meeting to serve at the subsequent Member Assembly. The current TAFP Board of Directors will also serve as voting members of the Member Assembly.

10. The term of office for all delegates and alternate delegates is one year but they may succeed themselves without limit.

11. To be seated, a delegate must be a member in good standing with TAFP and AAFP. 12. A quorum shall be 30 voting members of the Member Assembly. 13. Each delegate to the Member Assembly shall have one vote and the privilege of speaking. Should a

TAFP member in good standing not serving on the Assembly wish to have the privilege of the floor, they must petition the presiding officer and obtain permission to address the Assembly but they shall have no right to vote.


14. Delegates must be credentialed prior to the Member Assembly. They will be given ballots for elections and for run-off elections if necessary. If a delegate has not checked in 15 minutes prior to the start of the Member Assembly, the first alternate from their chapter or constituency shall be credentialed as a delegate.

15. Nomination process for elected positions: a. TAFP’s Nominating Committee will propose a slate of one or more names for the positions of

President-Elect, Vice President, Treasurer, Parliamentarian, Delegate to the AAFP, Alternate Delegate to the AAFP, At-Large Director on the TAFP Board of Directors and New Physician Director on the TAFP Board of Directors. Members interested in one of these positions should contact the Nominating Committee chair or staff prior to Interim Session.

b. In addition to the Nominating Committee slate, local or component chapters may nominate members for any elected position. This nomination must be submitted in writing to the president at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the Annual Session.

Those names will be sent forth to the Member Assembly on the slate with the candidates for the other positions. There may be nominations from the floor for those positions.

e. The names of candidates nominated for positions in one of the methods outlined above shall be read and placed in nomination during the Member Assembly. The floor shall be open for additional nominations at that time.

f. Each candidate is required to give a speech, except in cases in which a candidate is running unopposed for election or re-election. Speeches shall not exceed five minutes and the limit shall be determined by the presiding officer prior to the Annual Session and Primary Care Summit.

16. Voting procedures: a. Delegates and members of the Board of Directors will be given ballots when they are

credentialed. There shall be one ballot for the initial election and another to use in case of a run-off. The ballots shall be different colors to avoid voting irregularities. The presiding officer of the Member Assembly will not vote unless there is a tie.

b. Candidates must receive a majority vote to be elected. c. If no candidate for a position receives a majority of the votes on the first ballot, a run-off will

occur between the two individuals with the highest number of votes on the first ballot. Voting members will already have a second ballot and will be instructed which individuals are in the run-off and will have 30 minutes to turn in their run-off ballot.

d. If the votes are not tabulated before the Member Assembly is adjourned, a run-off can still occur as long as the TAFP Annual Session and Primary Care Summit is still in session.

e. If the Member Assembly has adjourned before the votes are tabulated, the results will be announced in the general session and other meetings or CME events of TAFP’s Annual Session and Primary Care Summit.

Nominating Committee 4.C. Chair Orientation

October 2017

Dr. Lindsay Botsford suggested that TAFP might want to create an orientation conference call for committee, commission and section chairs. It would extend the leadership training that we have done and empower our members with the information they need to be good chairs. The AAFP does such a call and has an extensive orientation manual. I’ve included the agenda for their call and the table of contents from the orientation manual.

We thought the Nominating Committee was a good place to discuss this idea. Who should lead the orientation? What topics should be covered?

Agenda – Commission Chair Orientation Conference Call

Thursday, October 26, 2017 — 7:30 – 8:30 p.m. CT (5:30 – 6:30 p.m. Pacific) (8:30 – 9:30 p.m. ET) — To Access the Conference Call – 888-271-3491 – after announcement press 1

I. Overview of the Commission Chair Orientation Manual – available online at

http://www.aafp.org/dam/AAFP/documents/commissions/restricted/CommissionChair.pdf

II. Note: The winter cluster has been shortened to a Friday through Sunday schedule (from a Thursday through Sunday schedule) beginning in January 2018.

III. Review of Strategic Objectives and Strategies of the AAFP in relation commissions’ scope of

work – Attachment A – Dale Culver

IV. Roles and Expectations of Commission Chairs, Commission Members, Board Liaisons, Senior Vice Presidents and Commission Staff

• Cooperation in creating agendas • Role of Board Liaisons - Attachment B

• Role of the Board Liaison at and in between meetings -- the Board Liaison is a member of the commission and the commission’s executive committee without vote.

• Role of the Senior Vice Presidents – Attachment C – Doug Henley, MD • Role of the Commission Staff Executive – Attachment D – Doug Henley, MD • Managing meetings well – Attachment E • Ensuring full participation by all commission members

• Evaluating commission members – Attachment F • Feedback to each commission member is important • Review Policy for Participation on Commissions outlining what is expected of chairs

as it relates to members of their commission – Attachment G • Meet immediately with a commission member who is struggling. Meeting one-on-one

is helpful in addressing issues. Ongoing conversations with the chair are important in ensuring the commission meeting and work is handled efficiently but the need for detailed conversations varies with each chair and their experience level.

• Prevention of individuals from dominating discussions • Important “quartet” of the Chair, their staff executive, Board liaison and the appropriate VP

– Doug Henley, MD • Recommendations to the Board – Attachment H – Doug Henley, MD • Recommendations for Board Chair Consideration – Doug Henley, MD • Tips for engaging members:

• Identification of one commission member mentor for each newly appointed resident/student of the commissions – Attachment I

• Identification of one commission member mentor for newly appointed first year commission members

• Pre-meeting call with a new member(s) for better preparation • At cluster, intersperse the new members, residents and students with the residing

commission members. In doing so, this give all members a chance to get acquainted equally.

• Important to tap into the knowledge of the 3rd year members as well as staff. • Give specific assignments. The completion of these actions usually yielded a good

return on investment and gave a sense of ownership.


http://www.aafp.org/dam/AAFP/documents/commissions/restricted/CommissionChair.pdf

October 2017 Page 2

Agenda – Commission Chair Orientation Conference Call – Page 2

• Discussion regarding the Member Interest Groups (MIGs) and the process of reporting through commissions with their ideas for AAFP policy, member needs, etc.

• Note: A commission member will be “assigned” as the liaison to a given MIG. • Spokesperson Policy – Attachment J (For Information) • Parliamentary Procedures, Helpful Tips – Attachment K (For Information)

V. Discussion - The winter and summer clusters now both have a shortened schedule. Even with this change, consideration should be given at the time of either cluster for the opportunity for brainstorming within the Academy’s four strategic priorities.

VI. Getting work done between commission meetings

• Provide expectations of the Board with respect to work done between commission

meetings – continue this good work • Use a Commission Executive Committee - the Board Liaison is a member of the

commission and the commission’s executive committee without vote. • Use available tools, i.e., email technology, conference calls, webinars • Stress importance of meeting deadlines • Be responsive in between cluster meetings in order that business can be conducted

expeditiously – especially related to handling resolutions from the NCCL and National Conference.

• Members are to acquaint themselves with using the AAFP Community platform to conduct work between meetings. In general, the chairs need to buy in and promote to members the increased use of electronic communication technology to conduct the commission's work both at the meeting and throughout the rest of the year. If new or current commission members need initial or further training on the AAFP Community platform, this can be arranged via your commission staff executive.

• Keep commissions aware of our continuing need to focus on our Strategic Plan and the twelve strategy statements and be aware of our fiscal and staff resources.

VII. Inter-Commission Coordination/Cooperation – Dates and times tentative

Nominating Committee Item 4.D. TMA Councils and Committees

October 2017

Each year we get a letter from the incoming TMA President asking for nominations for councils and committees. The request is sent to all members of the Interspecialty Society. We usually send an e-mail to Active members and submit anyone who replies using a form they provide just asking for a few lines of information. Below and on the following pages are lists of family physicians serving on TMA councils and committees to help you identify some gaps. I know that Dr. Fiesinger wants to be appointed to the Council on Legislation. It looks like we don’t have any TAFP members serving.

Nominating Committee Item 4.E. AAFP Awards

October 2017

AAFP has a slate of awards that they make available each year. TAFP automatically nominates our recipient of the Family Physician of the Year, Public Health Award and Teaching Awards for the equivalent AAFP award but there are others that we only nominate from time to time. Awards represent an opportunity to highlight excellence but they can also be a great deal of work. This year we nominated Dr. Lawler for the Thomas W. Johnson Award, Dr. Chenven for the Robert Graham Award and Dr. Kyle Sheets for the Humanitarian Award in addition to Dr. Kumar for Physician of the Year and Dr. Fowler for the Teaching Award. Dr. Chenven and Dr. Sheets were honored. Tom heard from someone from VillageMD wanting to nominate Dr. Clive Fields for the Robert Graham award next year. Below is a list of the awards and a brief description and following is a bio of Dr. Fields.

Humanitarian Award This award recognizes extraordinary and enduring humanitarian efforts. Dr. Kyle Sheets won this award in 2017.

Robert Graham Family Physician Executive Award

This award recognizes an outstanding family physician for his or her role as a physician executive. Dr. Chenven won the award in 2017. Dr. Roland Goertz is a past recipient.

Thomas W. Johnson Award for Career Contributions to Family Medicine Education

This award recognizes outstanding contributions to Family Medicine education in undergraduate, graduate and continuing education spheres. Dr. Ross Lawler was nominated in 2017 and can be resubmitted in 2018.

Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award for Practicing Doctors

This award established by the Arnold P. Gold Foundation for specialty societies, identifies and honors practicing physician who best demonstrate the ideals of compassionate and respectful care for a patient's physical and emotional well-being. The recipient will receive a monetary award of $1,000, and financial support* to receive the award at the Congress of Delegates meeting.

John G. Walsh Award for Lifetime Contributions to Family Medicine

This award honors those individuals whose dedication and effective leadership has furthered the development of family medicine. It recognizes long-term dedication, rather than any single significant contribution, and effective leadership toward furthering the development of family medicine. Designed to be the highest honor presented by the AAFP, with the exception of honorary membership. The award will not necessarily be granted on a regular basis, but will be awarded at the discretion of the Board.

AAFP Award for Distinguished and Meritorious Service to Family Medicine

This award recognizes members, nonmembers, chapter executives with 25-year service, and entities for long-time dedication to furthering the objectives of the AAFP and furthering the specialty of family medicine.
