Startup Checklist

  1. Official name of your parent institution and chapter.
  2. Main contact person for chapter, including name, mailing address, email addresses (university or "professional" email addresses preferred.  No hotmail or yahoo accounts please!), and available phone numbers (home, pager, cell). 
  3. All officer information in the following format: 
    "Office - First M. Last - Sex - email" 
    Example: 
    "President - Maneesh G. Kumar - Male - myemail@uiowa.edu" 
  4. Local Chapter Constitution that meets the requirments under Sample AAPI-MSR Constitution as a Microsoft Word document sent as an e-mail attachment please. 
  5. Person chosen to be your faculty advisor (does not have to be a physician in parent AAPI or a physician in your particular institution, although both of these things would be preferred). 
  6. Any plans for financing your chapter.  (e.g. fundraising events, money from the university/hospital, private financier, etc.)
  7. Parent university/school procedures for becoming an affiliated organization of the respective parent university/school and steps taken to meet those requirements. It is not a requirement to be an official organization under your parent instituion, but please try to do so as it will only make your organization stronger.

I will return communication to the main contact person (check list item #2) and all the national officers with an announcement of your newly founded chapter once the checklist is complete! Good Luck!
