President

Tenure

One year. May be reappointed by the President for one or more additional years of service.

Function

The Co-Chairs of the National Physician Advisor Conference (NPAC) are responsible for the success of the annual American College of Physician Advisors (ACPA) educational conference, including ensuring that NPAC meets the professional development and skill building needs of the membership. This includes participation in tactical responsibilities as well as strategic oversight of the entire annual educational program. The NPAC Co-Chairs are not necessarily members of the ACPA Board of Directors but are responsible for maintaining reporting and communications with all ACPA leadership.

Leadership consists of the NPAC Champion and NPAC Co-Chairs working together to direct the conference. This position manages a team of volunteers and works collaboratively with ACPA and the contracted event planning company staff. Individuals agreeing to serve as Co-Chair should plan for an average of five hours per week of service over a ten-to-twelve-month planning period with one or two months possibly involving up to ten hours a week. An honorarium is offered in recognition of the additional time and expertise required to accomplish NPAC goals.
