Due to gathering restrictions related to COVID-19, the annual Ohio Academy of Family Physicians’ (OAFP) Family Medicine Celebration has been canceled. In its place, the OAFP will host a virtual Annual Membership Meeting on Sunday, August 9, at 7 p.m. Registration is open and is required by Noon on Sunday, August 9, to participate.
Elect and watch your Academy leadership be installed, vote on Bylaws revisions and Board recommendations, and find out if you’ve won the annual Past Presidents’ Quilt raffle during the virtual Annual Membership Meeting this Sunday!
- Election and installation of officers
- Discussion and approval of bylaws amendments
- Recommendations that require approval from the membership.
Although we will miss seeing everyone in person, this virtual meeting will provide an opportunity for members to make their voice heard and participate in Academy business activities
Don’t miss the chance to win this beautiful quilt handmade and donated by OAFP Past President Sarah Sams, MD! Your ticket purchase benefits OAFP Foundation programming that cultivates student career choice in the specialty of family medicine.
The quilt’s Bargello pattern is a true testament to the environment we are all navigating. The curving detail throughout depicts the pivots and turns we’ve all had to make as family physicians living and working through a global pandemic. While the curves are constant right now, the formation of a traditional piano keys technique border can be seen as a comparison of the strong family medicine foundation that we can lean into during these trying times and know we will get through it together.
If you have questions about the Annual Membership Meeting, please contact Director of Education Erin Jech or call 800.742.7327.
