AMGA 2008
Capitol Hill Day
April 22-23, 2008
Gaylord National Hotel & Conference Center
National Harbor, Maryland
|
REGISTRATIONS IS CLOSED
AMGA Capitol Hill Day provides healthcare leaders with a chance
to interact with their elected officials in Washington and advocate
for medical groups. Participants will be encouraged to attend
the Advocacy School which will provide a “how to” primer about
politics, policy, advocacy and lobbying. Before the visits on the
Hill, AMGA will host a breakfast with a Congressional speaker.
Over the past two years, Chair of the powerful House Ways and
Means Health Subcommittee, Congressman Pete Stark (D-CA), and former
Chair, Congresswoman Nancy Johnson (R-CT), have been our special
guests.
The program is free of charge, but participants are responsible
for their own arrangements and expenses. Space is limited, so
make your plans to attend today.
Thank you for your commitment to advocating for medical groups, and
we look forward to seeing you.
