Volunteers Needed to Strengthen PROJECT 535

Successful legislative advocacy starts with a solid grassroots foundation. Given congressional focus on legislation addressing health policy and physician reimbursement in the 118th Congress, it’s now more important than ever for the Academy to strengthen its key contacts network via PROJECT 535. In addition to the Academy’s overall advocacy efforts, PROJECT 535 volunteers help reinforce our message by establishing personal relationships with federal elected officials. Federal lawmakers want to hear from you, their physician constituents. The commitment is minimal, but the impact is immense.

To help further strengthen our collective advocacy efforts, contact govtaffairs@entnet.org for more information or visit our PROJECT 535 webpage (member login required).
