The deadline to submit resolutions for the 2009 American College of Emergency Physicians Council meeting is rapidly approaching. College members who would like the Council to consider a resolution, which includes background information and a proposed course of action, must submit the material by e-mail, fax, or U.S. mail by July 6.

Each resolution must be submitted by at least two College members. In the case of a chapter or section, a letter of endorsement from the president or chair of the sponsoring body must accompany the resolution. When writing a resolution, there is a general format to follow that can be found on ACEP’s Web site, www.ACEP.org, in an article titled “Make a Difference: Write that Council Resolution” located in the ACEP Leadership section.

Receipt of resolutions will be acknowledged by e-mail or phone. If you have questions, please contact Sonja Montgomery at ACEP headquarters, 800-798-1822, ext. 3202. The 2009 resolutions to be considered will be publically posted 30 days before the Council meeting. This year’s meeting is scheduled for Oct. 3 and 4, prior to ACEP’s Scientific Assembly in Boston.
