  • Welcome to the 2024 Annual Business Meeting

    We are excited to host the 2024 Annual Business Meeting virtually this year! A virtual meeting has many advantages, but the one we are most excited about is the ability for more of our members to participate. This is an opportunity for members to engage with colleagues, share opinions about issues impacting the profession, as well as hear from leadership of ACNM regarding the status of the National Office, and the path forward.

    Who can attend?

    Per the ACNM Bylaws, business meetings are open to all members, although voting privileges are not extended to Associate or Student members. Associate and Student members are open to discuss and debate any motion that is presented, but may not cast an official vote in any elections.

    Where will the meeting be held?

    The 2024 ACNM Business Meeting will take place virtually on May 22th from 6 - 9 pm ET. Register Here .

    Reviewing Motions, Discussions, and Debate

    Motions can be submitted via this survey. All motions are due by May 14th at Midnight ET. The online debate will occur in real-time, with motions received via survey posted the same business day, allowing for members to voice their feedback prior to the business meeting.

    To participate in the online debate, you must request to join the 2024 Business Meeting Motions Community. Once a member of the community, you can respond to the motion(s) of your choice.

    Please list your name, state, and position on the motion (Pro or Con).

    We encourage a balanced discussion and invite opinions both in favor of and in opposition to the motion. We also encourage all members to participate in this discussion - no matter membership type. After May 14th at Midnight ET, no new motions or debate may be made. The information will be combined and presented during the Business Meeting for further discussion and a live vote.

    If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact ExecutiveOffice@acnm.org. We look forward to seeing you at the Virtual 2024 Business Meeting!
