Each year the Academy elects a new Board of Directors comprised of family physicians from across North Carolina. Directors and officers represent a broad spectrum of practice styles, career stages, and patient populations. In addition to their board service, each actively participates within the Academy's formal council and committee structure.
Each Academy Director is elected to represent family physician members by reviewing major policies and plans of the association, and communicating the needs of its constituency.
