AHLA administers a Call for Leaders each year. Appointments are made by the President-Elect and are announced in April 2026. Leaders are appointed for one, three-year term (Chairs are appointed for one, two-year term). Terms are staggered to prevent everyone from rotating off at the same time. As a result, there may be more or fewer openings available in any given year. General leadership qualifications include a demonstrated level of volunteer service, accomplishments in the health law profession/industry/community, and experience implementing or supporting inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility initiatives. Specific qualifications vary by leadership group and the time commitment required may vary by position (Chair, Vice Chair, Member), leadership group, and level of activity during the year. For additional information, please see Recruitment, Selection Process, and Expectations.

  • If you are a current leader continuing a term you do not need to submit a new application for your current position.
  • While serving in a leadership position, the individual must be an AHLA member in good standing.
  • If interested in a Chair position for any leadership group, prior experience as a Member or Vice Chair of the group is preferred. 
  • When applying to be a leader of a Practice Group (PG), one must belong to that PG when appointed and for the duration of your tenure.
  • When applying for service on a Conference Planning Committee, the member should have previously attended and/or spoken at the relevant conference, other AHLA conferences, or similar programs outside of AHLA.
  • If applying for Early Career Delegate to the Board of Directors please review the Volunteer Position Description.
  • Applicants may be considered for service in a leadership group for which they did not apply, depending on needs, openings, and alignment with one's skills and experience.
  • AHLA asks several demographic questions. Each question includes the choice prefer not to answer or to self-identify. This is an acceptable answer.
  • All applicants are required to attest to their review of AHLA’s Code of Conduct and Statement of Commitment when submitting their application.
  • Issues that may prevent selection include working in the same firm/organization as an existing member of the same leadership group, an incomplete application, or current leadership in a competing organization, which would create a conflict of interest and prevent the applicant from fulfilling their responsibilities to AHLA.
