New Jersey Chapter Regions
In April 2003, at the request of the New Jersey Chapter and the Chapters Subcommittee, the Board of Regents approved the establishment of two separate ACP regions in New Jersey. The chapter had grown in the number of members and the Subcommittee saw a need to better serve the membership by creating smaller constituencies for each Governor to represent. The two regions are New Jersey Northern and New Jersey Southern.
Ranita Sharma, MD FACP, was elected Governor of the Northern Region in April, 2010, and her term will expire in 2014.
Richard Kasama, MD, FACP, was elected Governor of the Southern Region in April, 2008, and his term will expire in 2012.
Although the New Jersey Chapter is now composed of 2 regions, in may ways it still functions as one with statewide activities and events serving the entire membership equally and at the same time.
The creation of 2 regions does allow for each Governor to play a larger role in the local medical communities and training programs, focusing on student and resident activities within each of their regions.
Please contact the Governor in your region if you have any questions, comments, suggestions, or if you wish to volunteer your time and skills to the chapter.
