AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS MEDICINE The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) is the largest sports medicine organization in the world, with over 50,000 members and certified professionals’ worldwide representing science, medicine, education, and sports. Members are located in the United States and more than 100 other countries. ACSM is dedicated to generating and disseminating knowledge concerning the physiological responses, adaptations, motivation, and health aspects of persons engaged in sport, exercise and physical activity. ACSM was founded in 1954 by 11 physicians, physiologists, and educators. Their goal was to develop and exchange scientific knowledge and ideas among professionals in related fields. The College grew from those 11 members in 1954 to more than 26,000 members today. The ACSM National Center has been in Indianapolis since 1983. In 1998, the building was renovated and expanded to accommodate the growing needs of the organization. Sports medicine is a perspective much easier to describe than to define. It involves sports but is not limited to organized athletics. It involves health but is not limited to medical supervision. Essentially, it is an understanding of the health implications of humans in activity. Sports medicine is a branch of medicine that is not limited to physicians. It is administered and identified under different approaches such as: orthopedic surgery, athletic medicine, kinesiology, cardiovascular rehabilitation, nutrition, physical medicine, biomechanics, and more. It cuts across almost all areas of medical specialization. The interdisciplinary nature of sports medicine is its strength. The educator, the researcher, the trainer, and the medical practitioner are all integral participants. Their respective expertise makes sports medicine a unique specialty that takes a holistic approach to health. Because a small group of individuals had the foresight to recognize the importance of an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and the need for continued research in vast areas of medicine in sports, the ACSM was founded in 1954 based on fulfilling these needs of communication, research, and education.

Historical Perspective

Joseph B. Wolffe, M.D., Grover W. Mueller, M.S., and Ernst Jokl, M.D., organized the founding meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine in conjunction with the 1954 AAHPER Convention (April 22, 1954). The interest generated by the first meeting was great. At the first business meeting Dr. Joseph B. Wolffe was elected President, Peter V. Karpovich, M.D., and Neils P. Neilson, Ph.D., were elected Vice Presidents, and Grover W. Mueller was elected Secretary. A list of the Founders of the College was officially confirmed at the January 8, 1955 Administrative Council Meeting. It included: Louis F. Bishop, M.D. Clifford L. Brownell, Ph.D. Albert S. Hyman, M.D. Ernst F. Jokl, M.D.

Peter V. Karpovich, M.D. Leonard A. Larson, Ph.D. Grover W. Mueller, M.S. Neils P. Neilson, Ph.D.

Josephine L. Rathbone, Ph.D. Arthur H. Steinhaus, Ph.D. Joseph B. Wolffe, M.D.

Membership

The membership of ACSM is diversified, yet unified. Members are engaged in more than 70 professions, divided into four main categories.

■ Medicine: ACSM members involved in medicine are found in hospitals, sports medicine clinics, medical schools, on the sidelines of professional and amateur sporting events, and even backstage at ballets. Many ACSM clinical members are world-renowned for their research on the effects of exercise on cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. ■ Basic and Applied Science: Members use their expertise in institutions such as the U.S. Centers for

Disease Control and Prevention, the United States military, NASA, and university and corporate laboratories. Still others work with the U.S. Olympic Committee or in corporate wellness and fitness programs. Some members may be owners, presidents, or directors of health and fitness facilities.

■ Education and Allied Health: Many ACSM members are involved in teaching and research in

college and university settings. Athletic trainers, nurses, dieticians, occupational and corrective therapists, and optometrists represent a few of the occupations in this category.

■ ACSM’s Alliance of Health & Fitness Professionals: The Alliance is designed to “bridge the gap

between science and practice,” members of the Alliance are front-line health and fitness practitioners.

ACSM offers six types of new memberships, along with the status of "Fellow." ■ Professional ■ Professional-in-Training ■ Graduate student ■ Undergraduate student ■ ACSM’s Alliance of Health & Fitness Professionals – Professional and student categories Fellow: The status of Fellow is obtainable by those members who meet certain requirements, including an earned doctoral degree, professional membership in ACSM for three complete and consecutive years, and attendance at two of the last five Annual Meetings. Fellows demonstrate expertise in their professions and a commitment to the College through their leadership.


Committees

All programs and projects of ACSM are organized around an extremely important committee structure. This structure combines standing committees, ad hoc committees, Strategic Health Initiatives (SHI), and special task forces appointed for a limited period of time and a specific purpose. Committees, SHIs, and task forces within ACSM deal with a wide range of issues and activities, including administration and governance; programs and projects; problem solving and improvement; and liaison. The standing committees of the College are: Awards & Tributes; Budget and Finance; Certification and Registry Boards; Clinical Sports Medicine Leadership; Communications and Public Information; Constitution, Bylaws and Operating Codes; Consumer Information; Credentials; Ethics and Professional Conduct; Evidence-based Practice; Health & Fitness Summit & Exposition Program; Health and Science Policy; Interest Groups; International Relations; Medical Education; Membership; Nominating; Office of Museum, History & Archives; Past Presidents Advisory; Professional Education; Program; Pronouncements; Publications; Regional Chapters; Research Awards; Research Review; Science Integration & Leadership; Strategic Planning; and Student Affairs.

Interest Groups

ACSM Interest Groups provide a forum for focused discussion, activity, and debate among members with similar interests. In addition, Interest Groups allow members to network formally. Each officially recognized ACSM Interest Group works toward fulfilling the mission of the College.

For 2015-2016, the College has Interest Groups in the following areas:

Aging Biomechanics

NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY

The American College of Sports Medicine strives to comply with all applicable federal and state laws. It does not knowingly violate such laws in its employment activities, membership policies, membership programs, educational activities, honor programs, certification matters, or program funding, nor knowingly discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender, sexual preference, military status, age, national or ethnic origin, disability, or handicap. It attempts to make its programs equally accessible to all persons regardless of disability.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST DEFINITION

Conflict of Interest is defined as a significant financial interest in a business or other direct or indirect personal gain or consideration provided by a business that may compromise, or have the appearance of compromising, an ACSM member's professional judgment in: (a) committee, BOT, Annual Meeting activity involving the business of the College, or (b) designing, conducting, or reporting research that may affect the business or the College. Personal gain or consideration includes but is not limited to corporate/organizational board appointments, promotions, advanced position, and other non-monetary reward. Financial and personal gain or


consideration includes but is not limited to the financial interests of family members, households, business partners, and close friends. Significant financial interest means anything of combined monetary value exceeding $10,000 per year including, but not limited to, salary, payments, income, fees, honoraria, travel expenses, gifts, stocks, stock options, patents, copyrights, and royalties. Key components:

1. annual notification of members and sponsoring corporations of ACSM Conflict of Interest policies, including situational examples.

2. annual disclosure of personal gain or significant financial interest by committee chairs, committee members and trustees via the annual Consideration for Committee Service form, with defined procedures should a conflict exist, such as excusing self from discussion and/or voting

3. maintenance of annual Consideration for Committee Service forms by ACSM 4. oversight by EPCC 5. appeals 6. discipline

MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

General Guidelines: No ACSM member should serve the College in capacities in which there is an ongoing, unavoidable conflict of interest. Information acquired by a member while serving in ACSM capacity is to be respected as exclusively proprietary and confidential until ACSM makes such available in the public domain. Every member is expected to disclose for the records any potential, real, or perceived conflict of interest (Conflict of Interest Form) and remove him/herself from presence and/or involvement in relevant agenda items. The decision to consider and disclose actual or unavoidable conflict of interest is the responsibility of the given member. If the member does not recuse himself/herself, the chair of the committee, President of the Board of Trustees or the CEO/Executive Vice President has the responsibility of ensuring the integrity of ACSM work and reserves the right to request a member excuse himself/herself from participation on a matter. Declaration of Conflict of Interest All ACSM committee or Board members are:

1. made aware of the ACSM Conflict of Interest guidelines when considered for committee or Board service and

2. required to disclose any potential conflict of interest (ACSM Conflict of Interest form). Included in this provision are guidelines for recusal from discussion and material review where potential, real or perceived conflict of interest exists.


Examples of Conflict of Interest A leadership role in competitive organizations with ACSM where proprietary information could be shared: Receipt of royalties, consultancies, funding by a research grant, receiving honoraria for educational services or any other relationship (such as material management or leadership responsibilities) with a corporation, company or institution that provides sufficient reason for disclosure in keeping with the spirit of the stated policy. Procedures for Addressing a Conflict of Interest Removal from discussion and participation in a matter of conflict of interest may occur in one of two ways. 1. An ACSM committee or Board member who discloses a conflict of interest is strongly encouraged to recuse himself/herself from a committee or Board issue which is viewed as competitive with the external entity the member is involved with. The individual should recuse himself/herself from the meeting or teleconference when discussions occur concerning the area of conflict. 2. The committee chair, President of the Board of Trustees or the CEO/Executive Vice President, with majority support from the group, reserves the right to excuse a committee or Board member from discussion and participation on a matter when the member has disclosed an affiliation which poses a real or perceived conflict of interest. Breach of Conflict of Interest and Recusal Situations where it is believed an individual did not disclose a conflict of interest intentionally, did not recuse himself/herself voluntarily or at leadership request, or shared sensitive or proprietary information with a competitive external entity should be referred to the ACSM Ethics and Professional Conduct Committee by the committee chair, President of the Board of Trustees or the CEO/Executive Vice President. Follow up actions may include those identified in the operating code of the Ethics and Professional Conduct Committee.


CORPORATE RELATIONSHIPS, DISCLOSURES, AND CONFLICTS OF INTEREST - for Chairs

of ACSM Structures Preface Complaints to the ACSM Ethics and Professional Conduct Committee (EPCC) concerning a member’s perceived violation of ACSM’s Code of Ethics are essentially allegations of either misrepresentation or a conflict of interest. Misrepresentation requires only evidence. An alleged conflict of interest between a member’s dual relationship with the College and an outside interest requires much more in-context information to arrive at an understanding. To minimize inadvertent conflict of interest situations, the following became operational at the conclusion of the 1995-1996 College year. Committee Operating Codes In the Operating Code of every ACSM committee and other structures in which the College is represented by its professional members, a section on ethics and professional conduct exists that contains five principles that are expected to be observed. A form is available to obtain existing disclosures from officers and members in accordance with policy. It is a responsibility of the Chair to remind his/her collegial members of the presence and significance of these five principles, both routinely and as otherwise warranted. They are (paraphrased):

1. No member should serve the College in capacities in which there would be an ongoing, unavoidable conflict of interest.

2. Every member is expected to disclose for the record any potential conflict of interest and remove

him/herself from presence and/or involvement with relevant agenda items.

3. The decision to consider and disclose actual or avoidable conflicts of interest is the responsibility of the given member.

4. The disclosure and accompanying withdrawal from involvement may be reversed and recorded by

one’s colleagues (i.e., that committee as a whole or the Executive Committee when indicated by the level of the members involvement) as being of “no conflict” or “avoidable.”

5. Information acquired by a member while serving in an ACSM capacity is to be respected as

exclusively proprietary and confidential until ACSM makes such available in the public domain. Criteria for confirming a member’s inappropriate professional relationship with an outside interest remain elusive out of context. However, they require, at minimum, an unwarranted benefit to be gained or potentially gained by that relationship to the detriment of the College including, but not limited to, an undue influence on a College course of action.


AN OVERVIEW OF ACSM COMMITTEES AND TASK FORCES

Committee Functions and Longevity All programs and projects of ACSM are organized around an extremely important committee structure. This structure combines standing committees, ad hoc committees, special task forces, and strategic health initiatives that are appointed for a limited period of time and with a specific purpose. Committees, task forces, and strategic health initiatives within ACSM deal with a wide range of issues and activities, including: administration and governance; program or project; problem-solving and improvement; and liaison. They also differ by longevity, as outlined below: Standing Committees Standing committees are permanent entities that are specifically listed in Article VI of the Constitution of ACSM. Each standing committee has its own operating code that spells out the scope of responsibility, function, size, composition, and authority. The Board of Trustees approves each operating code and any subsequent amendment to it. Appointments to standing committees are made by the President, as vacancies occur, and are usually for three-year terms. Ad Hoc Committees Ad hoc committees are normally temporary entities that are not found in the governing documents of ACSM, but rather are created by the President. Those appointed to ad hoc committees serve a one-year term, which may be renewed by the succeeding President if the duties and tasks warrant. If the work of the ad hoc committee proves to be of a continuing nature, the committee may request that the Board grant standing committee status. If approved, the Board would prepare an amendment to the Constitution for vote by the Fellows at the next business meeting. Task Forces Task Forces are normally temporary entities whose membership and mission are intended to exist for no more than a one-year period. Members of Task Forces are appointed by the President. These entities may be appointed to study an issue, to compose a document, or carry out some other function as deemed necessary. The same provisions apply as with ad hoc committees. Strategic Health Initiatives Strategic Health Initiatives are special bodies devoted to developing comprehensive health initiatives, often based on a demographic or subspecialty area of sports medicine and exercise science. The membership and mission of the initiatives are for a multiyear period, with the members normally serving three-year renewable terms. Appointments and Responsibilities of Chairpersons The President will appoint the chairpersons of all ACSM committees, task forces, and strategic health initiatives, filling slots on standing committees as terms expire. The chairperson is a major factor in determining the success of any committee or task force. Much of the chairperson's task is involved with planning, results management, human relations, and group dynamics. It is the expectation that all ACSM


chairpersons will keep the group on target. Clearly, the leadership of the chairperson will govern the ability of a group to achieve its goals. Chairperson duties involve five general areas:

1. Planning, with the staff liaison, committee or task force meetings, teleconferences, and the

methods by which objectives of the group are going to be achieved, and progress monitored. (See “Assignment of a Staff Liaison to Each Committee and Task Force” on pg. 14).

2. Conducting committee/task force meetings and teleconferences. The chairperson is expected

to serve in a leadership capacity, stimulating thinking, keeping the group on target and advancing, bridging gaps or apparent stalemates, and eliciting participation. The staff liaison assigned to the committee is available for complete support, from preparation and distribution of an agenda, to ensuring all materials and information are available for meetings.

3. Ensuring that minutes are completed in a timely and accurate fashion. The staff liaison is

available to take notes and prepare drafts of minutes for review by the chairperson.

4. Making certain that action occurs, by making assignments to committee and task force members; by consulting with the staff liaison, CEO/Executive Vice President or President if barriers to progress arise; and by setting deadlines for the completion of stages of projects. The chairperson is to ensure that the activities of the committee or task force conform to the policies described in this section.

5. Interacting with, reporting to, and evaluating committee performance and achievements for the

Board of Trustees. Each committee and task force chairperson is expected to do a number of things that will involve the group with the Board: preparing official reports to the Board (see "Reports to the Board" on page 16), making budget requests and seeking authority for activities and projects, and ensuring that an evaluation of committee progress takes place. The CEO/Executive Vice President will communicate with all chairpersons to ensure that such evaluation occurs annually. In addition, an officer of ACSM is assigned to each committee and task force (see page 24). Normally, this person will present the committee/task force report at Board meetings. A chairperson should consult with the officer prior to each Board meeting, particularly if there are significant matters to be brought before the Board.

Appointments and Responsibilities of Committee/Task Force Members The President appoints all members of committees and task forces, filling vacancies on standing committees as terms expire. Each member is expected to participate fully in the deliberations and work of the committee or task force, and to respect and function in accordance with the policies described in this section. This includes, but is not limited to, attending meetings, participating in teleconferences, and accepting reasonable assignments or volunteering for appropriate activities. Each member is expected to review the minutes, and generally be fully abreast of and engaged in committee or task force activities.


Assignment of a Staff Liaison to Each Committee and Task Force The Executive Vice President will assign a staff person to each committee and task force to assist with and support the activities of the group. The committee or task force, through the chairperson, may request assistance with such things as information and data collection, analysis and studies, budget preparation, meeting scheduling and support, teleconference scheduling and support, taking of minutes and distributing same, preparing a draft of committee and task force reports to the Board, and special projects. Committee and task force chairpersons and members are encouraged to contact the office of the CEO/Executive Vice President with any questions or concerns. Committee Budgets In preparation of each year's budget, a call for budget requests is sent to chairpersons of all committees and task forces. An information packet will be sent to the chairs in the summer. The staff liaison assigned to the committee or task force is available to help in the preparation of the budget request. ACSM's Budget and Finance Committee will meet in late summer or early fall to develop a proposed budget for consideration and approval by the Board of Trustees in November of each year. Budgets of committees and task forces are ultimately determined and approved by the Board. It is the duty of the CEO/Executive Vice President to administer expenditures of each committee and task force within the limitations of the established budget, and as determined necessary given circumstances that arise after budget approval. Incurring of Debt No committee or task force, or members of same, may incur ACSM expense nor incur a contractual obligation without the express prior knowledge of the CEO/Executive Vice President and President, which may be conveyed through the committee/task force staff liaison. This provision pertains to budgetary items previously approved by the Board, as circumstances may have changed since such approval was granted. Furthermore, the prior approval of the CEO/Executive Vice President must be obtained in regard to any unbudgeted expense. The CEO/Executive Vice President is the official signatory for ACSM contracts, agreements, and binding documents. Meetings, Teleconferences, and Other Activities Most committees and task forces meet in conjunction with the Annual Meeting, taking advantage of the fact that most members will already be in attendance. No expenses are reimbursed unless the committee or task force meets at a time not paired with the Annual Meeting, wherein the reimbursable costs would be outlined. Teleconferences are a remarkably effective way to meet and are strongly encouraged if committee or task force business warrants. Contact the staff liaison for assistance in this area. Special meetings of committees or task forces (i.e., not in conjunction with the Annual Meeting) must be requested in advance and approved by the Board. Approval will be granted only in extraordinary cases. The staff liaison will be of assistance in this and all other activities, including, but not limited to, the preparation and distribution of correspondence, gathering information, and following up with members.


The Conduct of Meetings and Teleconferences The observance of strict parliamentary procedure is not required of all committee/task force meetings and teleconferences, as long as the principles found in parliamentary procedure (fairness, opportunity to speak, majority rule, etc.) are followed. Below are guidelines that should be observed by the chairperson at all meetings and teleconferences: 1. Prepare and distribute an agenda in advance. 2. Start on time. 3. Make sure everyone is introduced and acquainted. 4. State the objective(s) of the meeting or teleconference; and, reference the ACSM disclosure and

conflict-of-interest policy. 5. Review the facts. 6. Encourage participation but keep members on the subject and the meeting/teleconference moving. 7. Be fair, but do not allow lack of interest, stalemate, or differing personalities or presentations to

negatively impact the meeting/teleconference. Ensure discussion is in conformity with policies found in this section.

8. Summarize major points during the meeting/teleconference to facilitate orderly progress. Make

specific assignments, with deadlines. 9. Adjourn on time.

10. Follow up in a timely and effective fashion with minutes, assignments, and information, while

monitoring progress and deadlines. Reports to the Board—Authorization of Activity Each committee and task force chairperson is required to submit at least two reports to the Board each year. One is prior to the Annual Meeting. Another supplementary report may be issued at the Annual Meeting if the committee or task force met in conjunction with the Annual Meeting and has significant recommendations, information, or requests. The last report is prepared prior to the November meeting of the Board. A call for committee and task force reports will come from the National Center, and the assigned staff person will be available to help with the preparation of the report. A specified format, highlighting action items and budget requests, is required for all reports to the Board. Progress updates are strongly encouraged. Requests must be made and approved by the Board if the committee or task force is contemplating activities not previously authorized by the Board, not found in the Operating Code, or not specifically called for by the President's charge to an ad hoc committee or task force.


Illegal and Improper Committee/Task Force Activity and Discussion Discussions among ACSM committee and task force members rightfully cover a broad range of issues pertinent to projects and activities. As a rule, the courts have been concerned about a very limited number of activities of associations, mainly dealing with termination of members, restraint of trade, professional codes, credentialing, and private regulation of a profession. It is the responsibility of the committee or task force chairperson to guide, carefully, discussion in any sensitive area, and to contact the CEO/Executive Vice President immediately if there are any concerns. Members are strongly discouraged to openly talk about or discuss negatively the actions of other colleagues and/or members of ACSM in a committee forum. Should such an issue arise, discussion is to be terminated and the chairperson should confidentially submit the issues, opinions, and facts to the Ethics and Professional Conduct Committee immediately. It also is the responsibility of the committee or task force chairperson to ensure that the activities of the group stay within the range authorized by the Board and that are proper for ACSM. The chairperson should contact the Executive Vice President any time there are any questions or concerns in this regard. Without previous approval from the Board (either specifically, within a committee Operating Code, etc.), no committee or task force, collectively or individually, may use ACSM letterhead for correspondence, publish statements, or otherwise communicate information that may improperly or inaccurately appear to be an official position of ACSM. Contact the Office of the CEO/Executive Vice President if you have any questions or concerns about particular matters. Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct Committee chairs and members, of course, are expected to abide by the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct that apply to all ACSM members. (visit www.acsm.org/ethics or call the National Center if you are unfamiliar with this code. Refer to page 9 for Conflict of Interest Definition for Trustees, Officers, and Committees.) ACSM maintains a specific and formal conflict-of-interest statement for members. It is the chairperson's responsibility to enforce and reinforce this policy among members. Assistance As a committee/task force chairperson or member, you play a vital, extremely appreciated role. ACSM wants to support your efforts as much as possible. Please contact your staff liaison any time you have questions or need assistance. Contact the CEO/Executive Vice President if you have questions or concerns.


AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SPORTS MEDICINE, ORGANIZATION ACSM Travel Policy

ACSM, ACSMF International and Domestic Travel Policy The American College of Sports Medicine, Inc. and American College of Sports Medicine Foundation, Inc., collectively referred to as the "Organization," support safe travel for staff, volunteers, and members representing the Organization. The Organization considers travel safe when the U.S. Department of State has issued neither a travel warning, public announcement, or consular information sheet on travel in or to a country. The U.S. Department of State web site should be consulted for a country's updated status report prior to travel.

The Organization also considers travel safe if its insurer would not require additional waivers, release of liability or riders to insure against events that are considered hazardous, unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence. Both conditions must be met for travel to be considered safe by the Organization. The American College of Sports Medicine’s success depends largely on the dedicated work of the Board of Trustees and members. When College business requires travel, ACSM wishes to reimburse individuals in the most fiscally responsible manner. The Budget & Finance Committee has developed the following policy in order to: Provide fairness and consistency; Establish a clear understanding of practices and budget accountability; Leverage travel dollars effectively to meet growing initiatives, increasing organizational needs and cash

management; and, Ensure compliance with IRS requirements and generally accepted accounting principles. The majority of travel is budgeted during the annual budgeting cycle. Occasionally requests arise based on new initiatives related to increased revenue. The Executive Vice President, Administrative Council, or the Budget & Finance Committee may approve requests for unbudgeted travel through written request in advance of the expenditure. These requests should be submitted to the Executive Vice President as far in advance as possible to allow adequate review of current financial performance before a decision is made. Receipts and Documentation
