How to Get Involved ~ JOIN KCMS TODAY!

Become a Member of the Delegate Council

All KCMS members are welcome to serve on Delegate Council. Delegates advocate for policy change and identify and craft resolutions/bills to improve the practice of medicine and health care for all.

The KCMS Delegate Council pursues legislative efforts with the help of a dedicated lobbyist, James Paribello. These efforts may be unique to King County but often have potential statewide and federal impacts.

KCMS Delegates who are Washington State Medical Association (WSMA) members can serve as representatives in the WSMA House of Delegates (HOD). As the largest WSMA voting bloc, KCMS Delegates have a powerful voice in setting legislative priorities and policies affecting organized medicine.

The KCMS Delegate Council resolution crafting process occurs from May until the WSMA meeting in September. The KCMS Caucus Meeting at the WSMA Annual Meeting is reserved for KCMS Delegates ONLY.
