Distribution of Membership Contact Information

OMA obtains personal and professional membership data for purposes of enhancing communication within the organization. Only data authorized by the individual members will be distributed to the membership roster, the AMA, component and medical societies. Email addresses will not be distributed under any circumstances unless directly authorized by the member.

OMA will sell mailing lists of its membership in hard copy form or electronic (exclusive of email addresses) only to mailing houses for requesting third parties, provided the purpose of such mailing is deemed to be of interest and relevance to the membership. Distribution of mailing lists to members or sales of such lists to third parties will be done only after recipient has agreed in writing that such lists will be used for no other purpose than for that agreed to, and in the case of third parties, may be used only once.

Adopted at the annual House of Delegates, 2005.
