Board of Directors

The BOD has an Executive Committee (EC) that includes the following national officers: Chairperson of the Board of Directors, President, President-Elect, Vice President, Pre-Medical Board Member, Treasurer, Regional Director to the EC, Professional Board Member to the EC, and the Executive Director. The remaining members of the BOD include the Secretary, Parliamentarian, ten Regional Directors, Committee Chairs, four Professional Board Members, and Emeritus members. The BOD meets quarterly to make business and policy decisions in accordance with the SNMA Constitution and Bylaws during the period that the HOD is not in session. The presiding officer is the chairperson of the BOD. The BOD reports it's actions over the course of the year and puts forth mandated items for HOD approval at the Annual Medical Education Conference (AMEC).

Regional Directors

SNMA is made up of 10 regions around the country. Each region is overseen by a Regional Director, elected from their respective region. Regional Boards are mainly comprised of the following elected regional officers: Regional Director, Assistant Regional Director, Pre-medical Liaison, Secretary, Treasurer, and Committee Chairs (corresponding to national committees). Each region hosts an annual Regional Conference at which a regional meeting is held. Each region has its own Constitution and Bylaws, which must be held in accordance with and not in violation of the Constitution and Bylaws of National SNMA.

National Committee Chairs

Nationwide, members of the Student National Medical Association serve on various national committees that help plan SNMA’s activities and make the Annual Medical Education Conference possible. As the oldest and largest student-run organization, SNMA seeks to support current and future underrepresented minority medical students, address the needs of underserved communities, and increase the number of clinically excellent, culturally competent and socially conscious physicians. The SNMA would not be the organization that it is today if it were not for the hard work, dedication and support of its members.
