The conference will also feature the AAO’s Florida lobbyist Anita Berry and the Washington State Dental Association government relations director Emily Lovell, joined by AAO staff to discuss effective state advocacy strategies.
There will be a regulatory discussion to learn more about the regulatory environment and ways to create influence with decision-makers in the executive branch.
A discussion on the future of AAO advocacy will feature an important discussion and listening session to consider future advocacy priorities.
The AAOPAC reception and dinner will offer members a chance to engage directly with a bipartisan group of members of Congress at the Hamilton Hotel.
