Overview
Mission
ASMAC’s mission is to cultivate a diverse community of attorneys and medical association advocates that serves as the premier source of the latest legal information and a collaborative network leading to effective advocacy on behalf of physicians, the medical profession and the public health. VISION STATEMENT. What are members saying about ASMAC? "ASMAC is a truly special organization, composed of individuals who are dedicated, talented and kind. I’ve been a member of many organizations and ASMAC has been my favorite. The reason for that is simple - it’s the membership and leadership. ASMAC builds a sense of community between and among lawyers who share the same dedication to the mission of organized medicine and the representation of physicians. I’ve always felt it was an honor to help the physician helpers." Kelly Walla, Texas Medical Association.

Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
