The leadership packet is found towards the bottom of the page!
LMSA depends on the efforts of volunteer student and faculty leaders to carry out its mission. At the national level, those leaders are organized in a number of ways, as shown on the chart below:
- Board of Directors (BOD; dark blue): The BOD consists of SIXTEEN (16) individuals working together to ensure that the organization acts for the benefit of its members across all five LMSA regions. (These include 2 Co-Directors from each of LMSA’s five regions.) The BOD meets monthly to evaluate and vote on major LMSA initiatives. The BOD also meets quarterly with all national officers to discuss ways to grow the organization and serve its members better.
- Executive Committee (EC; purple): The EC is composed of officers who supervise and carry out the day-to-day work of the organization, all while advancing the mission, vision, and strategic plans of the organization. These members also sit on the BOD, but meet more frequently with the officers who directly report to them.
- National Ocer Corps (NOC; faded blue): All Committee Chairs and other appointed ocers are part of the NOC and report to the Vice President of their specic team. In 2022-23, the NOC will consist of EIGHTEEN (18) key officer positions, as listed under “Appointed Positions” below.
- Faculty/Physician Advisory Council (FPAC; bright blue): Led by the Executive Director, FPAC oversees and supports all LMSA faculty, physician, staff, and professional advisors at the chapter, regional, and national levels. Advisors exist to guide student leadership and promote the career development of their colleagues across the country.
