Policy On Use of the AGS/FHA Name and Logo
With prior written permission, American Geriatrics Society (AGS) members, sections, student and resident chapters may use the AGS name and logo for the Society's official business, and in communications regarding AGS activities such as meetings, conferences, publications, other AGS programs, materials and resources.
With prior written permission, Foundation for Health in Aging (FHA) name and logo may be used to indicate participation in alliances or coalitions. All other instances require approval of the FHA Board of Directors.
AGS and FHA logos may only be used as they appear and may not be modified.

- Any publication (print or electronic) involving an organization or person other than the AGS/FHA.
The AGS/FHA logo may not be used in any manner that expresses or might imply the AGS/FHA's affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, certification or approval of any product or service.
The AGS/FHA may withhold approval at its sole discretion. The AGS/FHA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate or modify permission to display the AGS/FHA logo at any time.
The AGS Member logo was created to indicate membership in the Society. It was created so that AGS members can show their commitment to geriatrics, professional development and to the AGS missing by displaying it on their website, social media profile or email signature. It is available for AGS members only within the My AGS portal.
It may only be used as it appears and may not be modified.
- It may not be used in any manner that expresses or might imply the AGS's affiliation, sponsorship, endorsement, certification or approval of any product or service.
