Michigan MGMA Committee Structure
Member Interest Form

Michigan Medical Group Management Association accomplishes many of its goals using the services of its members on various committees. Because we'd like to encourage you to participate in this all-important process, we've included a brief description of standing committees and the functions they perform. Often, committees will divide assignments so members do not need to make excessive time or travel commitments.

In addition to our own committees, some of our members also serve on standing committees of the State Medical Society where their special skills can be put to good use.

If you'd like to explore the possibility of serving on a committee, please complete the form on the bottom of this page and return it to our executive office.

Program Committee: The Program Committee develops the educational content for the regular, fall and spring conferences and for any special educational programs sponsored by MMGMA. This committee also sets the dates for the conferences, makes all necessary arrangements and works with the vendors to ensure successful programs. This is a key committee for our State Organization.
