Make Your Voice Heard: 2027 Resolution Submissions Are Now Open!

The floor is yours. The official submission form for resolutions to be considered for the 2027 All-Member Advocacy Meeting is now live, and we want your ideas, priorities, and proposals front and center!

Resolutions are the primary way members can propose and influence CAFP policy.  Policy guides our legislative priorities, shapes our regulatory advocacy, and establishes where California family physicians stand on critical healthcare issues. If you want to impact state and federal policy on behalf of your specialty and your patients, submitting a resolution is how you make your voice heard.

How to Submit Your Resolution

• Review the Guidelines

Before drafting, make sure your proposal follows all of the requirements and criteria outlined in our newly updated 2027 Resolution Submission Guide. Resolutions that do not meet the requirements may not be considered at AMAM.

• Build Support

Collaborate with fellow members to refine your language, gather supporting data, and ensure your proposal addresses key priorities. We encourage members to co-author resolutions with colleagues and seek endorsements from local CAFP chapters.

• Submit the Form

Draft your resolution, including background information, citations, whereas statements and resolved clauses in our resolution submission form by December 7, 2026 at 3:00pm.

New Requirements This Year

CAFP is always looking for opportunities to improve and refine the resolution process to ensure it is clear, effective, and responsive to members. Last year, we received a record-breaking number of resolution submissions, giving staff and committees valuable opportunities to identify potential improvements and strengthen the process. New requirements for 2027 include:

• Students are now required to have a CAFP Active Physician (post-residency) member as a co-author for their resolutions
• Resolutions are now limited to no more than three resolved statements
• Requests for AAFP referrals should no longer be included in the resolved clauses, but simply identified by checking a box on the submission form
• Authors will be required to attest to having reviewed the updated Resolution Submission Guide, and acknowledge that they understand their resolution will not move forward if it does not meet the requirements
