Committees

Chapter committees serve as a valuable resource to the Ohio ACEP Board of Directors and our Chapter. Ohio ACEP committees provide leadership on important issues, further the work of the strategic plan and assist with activities for the year. Work to be accomplished is delegated to committees in the form of objectives and the recommendations formulated by the committees are brought forth to the board for final decisions. The Chapter has progressed towards its mission over the years largely as a result of the deliberation and activity at the committee level. Currently, Ohio ACEP has committees on Bylaws, EMS, Leadership, Government Affairs (Advocacy), EM Residents, and Education. If you are interested in participating in a committee please complete the following Committee Interest Form. While we evaluate the committee appointment process, committee member applications will be reviewed by the President and Committee Chair on a rolling basis. Please don't hesitate to apply.
