2026 New Policy Proposal Submission Form

2026 Policy Proposal Submission Form

Policy proposals may be submitted by ArMA's Board of Directors, any member of the association, any county or medical specialty society, or any committee or section of the association. All proposals should be accompanied by a fiscal note where appropriate. They may be submitted throughout the year. Each resolution must have at least one "Whereas" clause, one "Resolved," and the expected cost to implement, if applicable.
The ArMA Board of Directors has implemented criteria for new resolutions.

Please review ArMA's Compendium of Adopted Policies to ensure there is no current policy before submitting a resolution for consideration.

The resolution needs to meet at least one of the criteria requirements:
- Does the resolution address a current need?
- Is it directly applicable to the healthcare community?
- Does it reflect emerging healthcare trends?
- Is it within ArMA's or the AMA’s scope to accomplish this?
If you have questions about submitting a policy proposal, please see the Resolution Guidelines for additional information or contact Susan Brown.
If the resolution is long or has more than 4 Whereas or 4 Resolve clauses, you can upload a MS Word document.
