Statement on Equity: CAFP is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion and striving for health equity. As such, committees shall represent a broad demographic of members. Specifically, to the extent possible, committee representation should include representatives from multiple practice settings and include a diverse and representative cross section of demographics and member constituencies including but not limited to; New Physician, LGBTQ+, IMG, Women, BIPOC and generally representative of CAFP membership (gender, age, urbanization code, etc.).

National Conference of Constituency Leaders 

The National Conference of Constituency Leaders (NCCL) is the AAFP’s leadership development event that empowers a select group of change makers to catalyze positive change in family medicine. NCCL will inspire you to build on your leadership skills and create a lasting impact for current and future generations of family physicians.

CAFP will once again send a full delegation to NCCL, consisting of one Delegate and one Alternate from each of the five member constituencies (Women, BIPOC, New Physicians, International Medical Graduates, and LGBTQ+ physicians or physician allies) to represent our state. In 2026, CAFP will again increase our delegation to 12, by adding two extra leadership development positions for individuals who have been historically underrepresented in medicine, particularly Latinx.

The application process for Delegates and Alternates will be executed at the same time as committee applications this year. Applicants should complete the same Member Engagement Form to apply, and submit their application by January 31, 2026. NCCL Delegates and Alternates will be selected and notified in early February, to ensure sufficient time to plan for attending NCCL April 23-25, 2026 in Kansas City. Before applying, please make sure you would be available to attend for the entire conference dates if selected. NCCL is open to Active (post residency) members. Up to 1 Resident member may be selected to serve as an Alternate Delegate. Additional questions can be directed to mcleveland@familydocs.org.
