These membership classes presently are as follows: general members; distinguished fellow members; distinguished life members; affiliate members; trainee members; corresponding members; retired status; and inactive status.”

“To the extent applicable, each member of the association shall have equivalent rights and privileges as well as duties and responsibilities with respect to the association as they have with respect to the academy (e.g., the right to vote, serve on committees or in other voluntary or elected positions, etc.)”

“Aacap has the following standard operating procedures for monitoring and enforcing conflicts of interest: statement of disclosure of affiliations i. Purpose: to review outside affiliations of all officers, committee members and others acting on behalf of the amcap. Decisions by the officers, committees, and others on behalf of the american association of child and adolescent psychiatry have far reaching significance and consequences. Statements, publications and recommendations have implications for the practice of child and adolescent psychiatry and the health of children and their families all over the world. It is assumed that all officers, committee members and others acting on behalf of the amcap act honestly and with integrity. However, when outside affiliations result in real or perceived conflicts of interest, which may impact on an individual's opinion, disclosure is necessary. Ii. Procedures 1. The statement of disclosure of affiliations must be completed and signed by each officer/component member and submitted to the amcap within 30 days of first assuming a leadership role. 2. When completing the statement of disclosure of affiliations, members will note organizations where they serve in a governing or leadership capacity, relationships with pharmaceutical companies, relationships with third party continuing medical education companies, managed care organizations, internet health information providers, etc. It is important to disclose where he/she serves other agencies, associations or corporations, in capacities that are similar to or compete with the amcap. 3. Members are asked to declare any direct or indirect financial interests or personal, family or other relationships which conflict with duties or responsibilities and influence one's judgment on behalf of the amcap. Noting a potential conflict does not preclude service on amcap components, but following amcap procedure, such information will be shared with the amcap component chair, and if deemed necessary, with the amcap secretary, executive committee and board of directors. 4. Disclosures of affiliations are distributed to the appropriate component members. 5. The statements are reviewed by each chairperson. At each meeting the chairperson will ask for any updates to disclosures of affiliations. The minutes will note new disclosures, if any. Members may be asked to recuse themselves from discussions or decisions based on potential or perceived conflicts of interest. If there is concern about any conflict, the chair will review concerns with the amcap secretary, who will have the ultimate decision-making authority. 6. Members must complete a disclosure of affiliations for every component they serve on.”

“The organization's governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements are available upon request for the same period of disclosure as set forth in section 6104(d).”
