May is here and it is almost time for the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc., ballot and Mutual Protection Trust proxy. Members will start receiving their mailed ballot and proxy materials the week of May 29. As a member of a physician owned and governed organization, this process is your opportunity to make your voice count.
The ballot and proxy will be used at the Annual Meeting of CAP and MPT Members, which will be held on July 27 at 8:00 a.m. in CAP’s headquarters office in Los Angeles.
On the CAP ballot, members may vote on the nominees for the CAP Board of Directors and on a proposed amendment to the CAP Bylaws. Via the MPT proxy, MPT members may indicate their approval of nominees for the MPT Board of Trustees and their vote on proposed amendments to the MPT Agreement.
To complete the process, a majority of all members must respond. Each vote is important, and members have the opportunity to vote online by logging in at www.CAPphysicians.com. You also may choose to return your two-page ballot and proxy by fax or mail. In order to make this process efficient, we need your votes as early as possible.
If we do not receive a majority of the members’ responses, we incur additional costs to contact those who have not responded, and may require a second mailing. The more votes we receive, the fewer resources will be required for follow-up calls and emails. Please vote early and encourage your fellow members to do the same.
