Access Our New Membership System

Access to listing of Committee, Task Force and Interest Group members is only available to current paid members via the new login system at: http://member.saem.org coming in September - - - We are crossing over to the new system beginning Monday, August 24, 2009.

Members current previous to this will have a new User Name and password sent to them. All non-members at that time will need to create a NEW web account via the same system to log into non-member (ie. abstract submissions) as well as member's only services.

ATTENTION NEW Committee / TF Members

This page and the links are now set for the new groups as well as the list serves. You will find your list serve e-mail accounts listed on your group’s web page. Effective July 1, 2009 all list serve accounts will no longer have a number associated with their name. Committee's and task force list serve account name will be the same every year.
The 2008-2009 groups have been archived and the information from them is available from the new group’s page. The old list serves are no longer operational. Lower down the left side you will find links to the old sites that may not be shown in the new list.
For assistance contact the staff liaison listed for your group. For technical support please send an e-mail to techsupport@saem.org

Committees and Task Forces

It is the responsibility of the incoming President (President-Elect) to coordinate the development of the annual committee and task force objectives, which are approved by the Board of Directors. The process of developing the objectives begins in the fall and continues until approved by the Board in the spring. In addition, the President-Elect is responsible for appointing the chairs and members of the committees and task forces. An online Committee/Task Force Interest Form (deadline Feb 3rd) is made available in the winter and all interested SAEM members are invited to apply for appointment. Appointments are announced by April. Appointments are for one year and commence and end at the SAEM Annual Meeting. Click on a Committee or Task Force link to the left to see the current committee or task force objectives and the committee or task force chair, board liaison, staff liaison, and committee members.

Objectives

SAEM’s year runs from May to May to coincide with the Annual Meeting. While SAEM’s mission “to improve patient care by advancing research and education in emergency medicine” gives direction to SAEM’s activities, it is the extensive and detailed work of each committee and task force towards the fulfillment of their specific goals and objectives which advance the academic specialty.

Although the committee and task force objectives are developed and approved by the Board of Directors, they are based on SAEM’s Five Year Goals and Objectives and on the suggestions of prior committee and task force chairs and members, as well as from individual SAEM members. The Board strives to ensure that the objectives assigned to each committee and task force are well defined, achievable, and directly related to SAEM’s core mission. The Board appreciates feedback regarding these objectives from the membership, and most importantly, invites suggestions for future objectives.
