Get involved: Represent TAFP at AAFP's NCCL and ACLF
Each year, AAFP holds the National Conference of Constituency Leaders and Annual Chapter Leader Forum concurrently in Kansas City, Missouri. NCCL representatives and ACLF attendees from across the nation gather to discuss various issues, suggest policies and programs to AAFP, and receive leadership training. The conferences are held in the spring, and TAFP is always looking for members to serve on the delegation or apply for scholarships to attend.
Texas delegation to NCCL
Spots are available for 10 TAFP members to represent each of the five constituencies: new physicians (physicians who have been out of residency for seven years or fewer), women, minorities, international medical graduates, and LGBTQ+ physicians. TAFP reimburses up to $1,400 for expenses for each of the five delegate and five alternate delegates. In addition, TAFP offers two other opportunities to attend NCCL with funding. These scholarships will be awarded to one third-year resident and one minority physician.
Interested? Please fill out this form and send a current curriculum vitae to Kathy McCarthy at kmccarthy@tafp.org by the end of the first week of January.
TAFP scholarships to NCCL
TAFP has scholarships for additional members to attend NCCL — a third-year resident scholarship a minority scholarship, a scholarship for a past co-convener to attend as a mentor, and an at-large scholarship for a delegation applicant who isn’t selected. All four scholarships are up to $1,000 in travel reimbursement to attend the conference. If you are applying for a delegation position, you will automatically be considered for a scholarship if not selected for the delegation.
