MEDICAL COMMUNITY

County Societies

Partnership with county societies is a priority at MSSNY.
To assist county society members with membership and operations matters, we provide brochures, forms, fact sheets, printed materials, and other resources.

LEADERSHIP AND ADMINISTRATION: A GUIDE FOR COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETIES

Congratulations on achieving a leadership role in your county medical society. The information in this handbook is provided as a guide to assist you in learning more about your county and state societies, and to help you in meeting your leadership responsibilities. In addition, should you have aspirations, you can learn about routes to other leadership positions within MSSNY and the AMA.

This manual may also be used by county society staff as a guide to administrative procedures.

Please feel free to contact our Division of Membership Services at any time: 1-800- 523-4405. A list of other MSSNY staff and their areas of expertise can be found in the Appendix.
