Purpose of Trip: The purpose of this trip is for UF COM AMA board members to represent the UF vote at the interim meeting of the AMA house of delegates. The voting delegate is required to attend the interim meeting and we are requesting for two additional members to attend the conference to represent our school. All attending members will be required to help draft resolutions and give testimony to lobby for these resolutions to be presented to the house of delegates. Additionally, all attendees are responsible for attending all required events and participating with the Florida and region 4 voting blocks.

Questions/Concerns
We understand that this is a costly expense. We ask UF to consider that the AMA interim meeting in Hawaii only occurs every 4 years. For the past several years, both the annual and interim meetings of the house of delegates have occurred remotely. Seeing as this is a rare occasion that is occurring in person, we hope to have the privilege to send our members to participate in a memorable and extremely important reunion of the AMA house of delegates.
