The purpose
of this Policy Manual is to consolidate
into a single guide the major operational
policies of the American College of
Preventive Medicine. The Policy Manual is
intended to provide members of the ACPM
Board of Regents, candidates for the Board
of Regents, committee chairs, committee
members, and ACPM staff with an
understanding of ACPM’s operational
policies. Changes to the manual are
approved by the Board of Regents directly
or after recommendation to the Board by
the Constitution and Bylaws Committee.
It is
also important to understand what is not
included in the manual. The manual does
not include ACPM’s policies on
legislative and regulatory issues and on
issues pertaining to the field of
preventive medicine generally. The manual
also does not contain the detailed office
policies that govern the day-to-day
workings in the ACPM office. These public
policies and office procedures are
maintained at ACPM headquarters in
Washington, DC.
It is the
responsibility of each ACPM leader to
review and understand the contents of the
Policy Manual. Suggestions for revisions
to the manual may be addressed to the
Chair of ACPM’s Constitution and Bylaws
Comm
