St rong Chapters Equal Strong ACC
While the American College of Cardiology (ACC) works hard and effectively to provide education, quality initiatives and advocacy for all its members, to paraphrase a famous line from former Speaker of the House Tip ONeill Jr. All health care is local.
The Mississippi Chapter, along with the ACCs other 48 Chapters, is a critical link to other cardiovascular specialists in Mississippi. We provide critical local education, quality and advocacy opportunities and plays a key role when it comes to networking, leadership building and mentoring.
Given the invaluable roles all Chapters play, the ACC Board of Trustees recently approved the implementation of mandatory Chapter dues for active physician members. The goal is to provide Chapters with the resources necessary to develop innovative education and advocacy programs and enhance the benefits of Chapter membership.
One of the major challenges for the Mississippi Chapter today is to remain fiscally viable despite a political and economic climate that is making health care funding increasingly difficult to secure and/or narrowly limited in scope. Other similarly situated medical associations, such as the American College of Physicians, implemented mandatory dues and have seen an increase in Chapter membership and a greater sense of involvement from their members as a result. Enabling a baseline membership experience is extremely important to energizing grassroots Chapter work.(MORE)
