MTC General Membership Meetings
MTC has a minimum of four scheduled General Membership Meetings per year. They are typically held in February, May, September, and December. The meetings can be virtual, in-person, or both. General Membership meetings are open to any individual working in a trauma capacity in the Trauma Program at a member hospital. These meetings are usually attended by Trauma Program Managers (TPMs), as well as Trauma Medical Directors (TMDs), Performance Improvement (PI) Coordinators, Injury Prevention Coordinators, and Registrars. Meetings provide a great opportunity to network and share ideas. However, the virtual option reduces travel costs and provides an opportunity for more trauma staff to attend.
General Membership Meetings typically consist of a business meeting in the morning followed by an educational session or sessions after lunch. However, the agenda can vary depending on the date and venue.
The meetings are held virtually by Zoom with the exception of the May meeting which is held during the same week and location as the Annual Meeting of the Michigan Chapter of the American College of Surgeons and the Michigan Committee on Trauma and includes an in-person option. (Their location rotates around the state). The September General Membership meeting serves to elect Executive Officers and other Committee members. In December, there is the approval of the annual budget.
At any meeting there could be a vote on Bylaws changes (as needed), and transacting other business.
