Are you interested in advocating for important issues in-person? Plan to attend the 2023 AAO Professional Advocacy Conference, February 28 – March 1 in Washington, D.C. Engage via grassroots outreach and make your voice heard during our Capitol Hill visits, following training on AAO advocacy priority topics.

Participants will get the most recent updates on state actions, emerging trends, regulatory insights, and advocacy related to mail-order orthodontics. 
 
AAO Political Action Committee (AAOPAC) contributors of $250 or more have received an invitation to attend the conference. If you have not received an invitation, there is still time.  Make your $250 contribution now and you’ will receive an invitation to register. Your support of AAOPAC helps fuel our AAO advocacy priorities in Washington, D.C. and in states throughout the country. 

Advocacy with the AAO is a means to powerfully amplify your voice, alongside those of your peers, and share with lawmakers at the federal and state levels why their support for our legislative priorities is vital.  As their constituent, your presence at this conference will empower your role as a grassroots advocate – and pave the way for you to build a strong relationship with your federal lawmakers.

We don’t want you to miss this opportunity. Members who attended the 2022 Advocacy Conference shared these favorite aspects of the meeting:

  • Opportunity to hear directly from federal legislators about the political landscape, and what it means for you as an AAO member. You will have a chance to hear first-hand the impact elections will have on you, your business, and your patients.
  • Through constituent meetings with members of Congress, the conference serves as a platform to educate legislators about our current and future policy requests, ensuring legislators are open to dialogue as important bills are introduced in Congress. You will be making a grassroots difference before there an issue even emerges and helping ensure legislators take our calls about each issue.

We hope to see you at the 2023 Professional Advocacy Conference.
