How to Form a Network
To establish a new Network, a minimum of 15 members must express interest in its formation. Once this requirement is met, a representative from the proposed group must submit a request to PALTmed, that includes the following:
- Suggested title for the proposed Network
- Statement of purpose for the Network
- List of members interested in establishing the Network
- Name of the requestor
PALTmed will review the request. If approved, PALTmed will announce the formation of the Network via PALTconnect (the member forum), PALTnews (e-newsletter), and on the website.
Note: PALTmed reserves the right to retire any Network that maintains fewer than 15 active members.
