Attend the Forum and Advocate for PACE!
Help advocate for PACE by attending the Spring Policy Forum! Attendees will have the opportunity to visit Capitol Hill and meet with members of Congress and their staff to share the value and impact of PACE. These conversations help close the knowledge gap about the care model and inform congressional members how they can help expand access to PACE.
NPA offers resources to help attendees prepare for their role as PACE advocates, including a webinar on March 18 about our congressional “asks” and best practices for Capitol Hill meetings, as well as free advocacy courses in the PACE Learning Center.
PACE advocacy is essential to raising awareness and driving policy changes that support program growth. We need you because no one knows the life-changing difference PACE makes for participants and caregivers better. As a PACE staff member, you bring real-world experience, professional credibility, a deep understanding of PACE participants and operations, and, most importantly, a passion for PACE. Federal and state policy-makers value your perspective and want to hear from you.
To prepare for your role as a PACE advocate, NPA invites you to attend a webinar on March 18 about our congressional “asks” and best practices for your meetings on Capitol Hill. Advance registration is required.
In addition, the PACE Learning Center offers two free advocacy courses: “Starting Your Advocacy Journey” and “Next Steps in Taking Action.” The courses were created to support your advocacy efforts with step-by-step guidance and everything you need to build confidence. Visit the PACE Learning Center to learn more.
