Her recommendation is that OMA move to a larger spring meeting (also known as the “Spring Main” Meeting) beginning in the Spring of 2024, that would more align with the ABOM Diplomate Review Course and the ABOM Diplomate application process, as the ABOM Examination will occur each fall, beginning in the Fall of 2022. The board discussed the meeting schedule and agreed to have a larger spring annual meeting, with a smaller focused fall meeting beginning in Spring of 2024. In conjunction with this change, the board leadership election schedule would also need to change, as it would affect board members terms being extended. Currently, OMA rotates it board leadership each fall, and with this proposed shift, the OMA board leadership would rotate in the spring of each year instead, which necessitates an amendment to the bylaws to provide for this. Under this bylaws amendment, the 2022 board leadership will be installed in Fall of 2022 and remain in office until Spring of 2024. Motion to amend Bylaws The motion passed It is to be reflected in the minutes that the board is directing the Executive Director to retain two in-person meetings a year, with the spring meeting functioning as the “Spring Main” meeting and the second meeting functioning as a “Focused Fall” meeting.
