Language around identifying faculty leadership
“Submit a new chapter application. Then, email us your chapter constitution and membership roster which includes your faculty champion to the Campus Recruitment Assistant Director. Your membership roster will be enrolled in the national mailing list.
Note: we recognize the dearth of LGBTQIA+ faculty members and allies in academic medicine. If you are unable to secure a committed faculty champion, please contact us for guidance and support.
