2025 CAP and MPT Elections: Please Vote Today!

The elections for the Cooperative of American Physicians, Inc. (CAP) Board of Directors and for the Mutual Protection Trust (MPT) Board of Trustees are currently underway—and the July 16 annual meeting date is fast approaching! All members of record as of May 17 should have received their voting materials for the CAP and MPT board elections via email, and we thank those of you who have already voted.

It Is Critically Important That All Members Vote Without Delay

It is easy to submit your vote:

Vote Online: Log in to your CAP member account at https://member.capphysicians.com and follow  the instructions. Register for an account at https://member.capphysicians.com/register if you do not already have one. OR

Vote by Docusign: You have received emails from CAP and will be receiving additional emails if you have not voted yet asking you to complete your ballot and proxy via Docusign, which allows you to easily and securely vote through your web browser in less than a minute.

If you did not receive your voting materials, if you need another copy of your ballot and proxy, or if you need help voting, please contact Membership Services at 800-610-6642.

Please save the membership the expense of additional solicitation and vote today.

As a physician-founded and physician-directed organization, the members’ best interests form the foundation of CAP. If we do not receive a majority of the members’ votes, additional resources will be used for continued efforts to collect votes. The more votes we receive, the fewer resources will be required for follow up.
