staff to advance an ambitious policy agenda designed to support addiction treatment professionals as they treat patients and save lives.

AMAC Member Resolution Forum
What is the AMAC Member Resolution Forum?
During the AMAC event on September 23, 2024, attendees will have the opportunity to present their own policy resolutions to attendees for discussion and voting during the “AMAC Member Resolution Forum.” If a majority of the AMAC attendees vote to approve a resolution, then it will undergo consideration by ASAM's Public Policy Coordinating Council (PPCC) at its next meeting. At that PPCC meeting, each passed resolution at AMAC will receive a numerical score based on an issue prioritization rubric, and the PPCC will subsequently provide its prioritization analysis to the relevant advocacy committee (Legislative Advocacy, Public Policy, or Practice Management and Regulatory Affairs). This prioritization analysis will assist these committees in determining their policy priorities for the year 2025.
Resolution Submissions
The PPCC is currently accepting resolution submissions for the upcoming AMAC. These submissions are exclusively accepted from ASAM members who have timely registered to attend AMAC, taking place on September 23-24, 2024, in Washington, DC.
By September 9, 2024, the PPCC will release a PDF booklet containing all the qualifying resolutions that have been submitted, which will be accessible to registered AMAC attendees. Any resolution submitted by individuals who are not ASAM members attending AMAC will not be considered for inclusion at the conference.
Resolution Submission Deadline is August 23, 2024, 5 p.m. Eastern.
All qualifying resolutions received by this deadline will be included in the resolution booklet for AMAC registered attendees.
