Special Report From the Committee on Reorganization

Committee on Reorganization

The Committee on Reorganization of the Academy has been appointed to study the constitution and by-laws of the American Academy of Pediatrics and make suggestions for such changes as may seem indicated. The Committee is anxious to call its existence to the attention of the members and request that they inform the Committee of any ideas that they may have relative to the organization of the Academy.

The State Chairmen discussed the problem at some length at the Annual Meeting in Dallas in December. It was felt that the Academy had grown to the point where its basic organization should be examined carefully within the near future.

It was specifically suggested that a formal organization be developed in the individual states so that the State Chairmen could be elected rather than appointed. It was also felt that the District and Alternate District Chairmen should be elected by the membership of the district concerned rather than by the membership of the entire Academy. Several State Chairmen expressed the view that members feel that they do not have a personal vote in the affairs of the Academy and that the organization of the Academy should allow for more active participation by individual members.
