NAM Honored by TMA House of Delegates

The Tennessee Medical Association House of Delegates met on May 22 to hear committee reports, present and vote on new resolutions and bylaws, install the 2021 president, and hold elections for speaker and vice speaker. NAM sent the largest delegation of representative members from a component medical society.

TMA Board of Trustees Chair Dr. Timothy Wilson presented the day's final resolution, honoring and commending the Nashville Academy of Medicine for 200 years of service and congratulating our past and current members on the association's bicentennial anniversary. View the proclamation here.
