Congress Observer
IAFP members in good standing can share ideas, issues, or opportunities with the Board—no formal resolution required. Simply email a brief summary of what’s on your mind. Whether it's a challenge in your practice, a policy worth exploring, or a way to better support members, we want to hear from you. The IAFP President reviews all submissions and may recommend them for discussion or action by the Board or a Committee.
There is no deadline—send your ideas whenever you are ready. You might be contacted to discuss further or to present to the Board or a Committee. We will keep you updated on what happens next. Your perspective can help advance family medicine in Illinois. It all starts with you.
