House of Delegates

The Voice of the Membership

The House of Delegates (HOD) represents the voice of CAP membership and is a gateway to leadership. The HOD ensures that CAP policies and initiatives meet the needs of the members we represent. Our strategy is to:

  • Articulate to the Board of Governors what the HOD believes are needs of our members
  • Monitor the effectiveness of the CAP to meet these needs
  • Provide feedback and progress back to our constituents

The HOD in Action

The following videos provide a glimpse of HOD activities from their most recent meeting:

  • HOD Candidate Forum- CAP President-Elect and Board of Governors candidates took live questions from meeting participants ranging from advocacy issues, diversity, pathologist resilience and wellness, and dealing with career transition.
  • Joint HOD/RF Session- Updates from CAP leadership at the joint HOD/RF session.
