By the vote of the membership on July 27, 2017, the Cooperative of American Physicians Bylaws and the Mutual Protection Agreement have been amended.
Article 4.2.2 and Article 6.7 of the CAP Bylaws and Part 2, Section 1.B and Section 1.G.1(a) of the MPT Agreement have been amended to limit service on the CAP Board of Directors and the MPT Board of Trustees to 12 years and to limit service of a board chair to four years.
Part 1, Section 1 of the MPT Agreement has been amended to clarify that MPT will cover a claim that was first brought during a Member’s coverage period or during the member’s tail coverage period.
Part 2, Section 7.J of the MPT Agreement has been amended to modify the MPT Agreement’s reference to the CAP and MPT Statement of Privacy Obligations and to include website publication as a method of delivering the Statement to members.
Full versions of the CAP Bylaws and the MPT Agreement are available to members by logging in at www.CAPphysicians.com.
As previously announced via email to members and website publication, the following CAP Board of Directors were elected to two-year terms: Sheilah Clayton, MD; Béla S. Kenessey, MD; Wayne Kleinman, MD; Gregory Lizer, MD; Amir Moradi, MD; Graham Purcell, MD; and Paul Weber, MD.
Because election of MPT Trustees requires an affirmative vote of a majority of all members and because no candidate received the required vote, the current trustees, Mearl Naponic, MD; Othella Owens, MD; Andrew Sew Hoy, MD; Charles Steinmann, MD; and Phillip Unger, MD, will remain in office until their successors are elected.
