2023 SGRC Regional Advocacy Meeting Central
The AOA State Government Relations Committee (SGRC) will host a series of three regional advocacy meetings this summer and fall to collaborate with optometry's state advocacy teams and build on the profession's historic momentum. Consult the schedule below for more information about the Central meeting or find a regional advocacy meeting with your particular state.
Building on the overwhelming success of last year's inaugural regional advocacy meetings, the AOA State Government Relations Committee (SGRC) once again will host a series of advocacy meetings to collaborate with and work to maximize affiliates' advocacy strategies with firsthand input from seasoned veterans.
With all new content and conversations planned, the 2023 AOA SGRC Regional Advocacy Meetings will build on the foundational elements of 2022 meetings and dive deeper into specific tactics used by optometry's advocates to successfully navigate the legislative landscape. Hear from those advocates who have found success with a number of issues affecting our profession. Panelists will share what roadblocks they experienced and strategies to navigate around those obstacles. Among the pertinent issues up for discussion at these meetings include the emergence of physician "title" bills and other offensive plays utilized by opponents to derail optometry's advancements.
