The ACCMA District IX Delegation is seeking members who are interested in local and state issues related to the practice of medicine, are looking for opportunities to network with other physicians throughout the state, and/or have an interest in exploring a leadership position within your Medical Association or the CMA.

The District IX Delegation represents ACCMA at the CMA House of Delegates (HOD). This year’s HOD is scheduled for October 21-22, 2023, at the Marriott LA Live in Los Angeles, California. The HOD convenes annually to debate and act on resolutions and reports dealing with myriad medical practice, public health, and CMA governance issues. Policies adopted by the House are implemented by the CMA Board of Trustees, which also deals with the many interim policy issues that arise between annual sessions.

The House of Delegates consists of more than 400 delegates elected by members of component medical societies, specialty societies, CMA sections (Organized Medical Staff Section, Young Physicians Section, Ethnic Medical Organization Section, Medical Student Section, the Resident and Fellows Section) and CMA mode of practice forums.
