The AAOMS achieves its purpose and mission through activities, structures and policies outlined in the Governing Rules and Regulations of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. The rules and regulations consist of three parts.
Constitution & Bylaws
The AAOMS Constitution contains the fundamental provisions defining the Association’s incorporation, purpose, basic governing structure, and obligation to promulgate a code of professional conduct and ethics.
The AAOMS Bylaws detail the structure of the Association, its composition and function, and the relationship between the Association and its members, including the rights, obligations, powers, and duties of each.
Policies
AAOMS Policies are administrative standing rules enacted by the AAOMS House of Delegates, often on the recommendation of the Board of Trustees. The policies guide the association’s Board of Trustees, committees, and staff in fulfilling their responsibilities on behalf of the membership and the public.
The Governing Rules and Regulations is available, without charge, to AAOMS fellows and members in good standing. Contact us for a copy.
