AAPM committees exist as defined by the AAPM bylaws or as created by the president. Each committee has a specific ongoing charge, which guides it efforts. Committee chairs and members are AAPM members, appointed annually by the incoming president. Active members may chair committees.

It is expected that committee chairs will guide the committee in directions that are consistent with the published charge. Any proposed change to a committee charge must be submitted to the AAPM Board of Directors for consideration. 

Affiliate members may co-chair committees with an Active member. Active, Affiliate, Scientific, International, Trainee, Resident, and Student members may serve on committees. Committees meet in person or via teleconference as needed. Committees may make recommendations to the board. Recommendations will be reviewed for alignment with Academy priorities and budget implications.
