2012 Legislative Day – March 7

Make your voice heard in these changing times!

Come to Madison and support the promotion of the physical therapy profession. Join your colleagues in Madison and learn how the legislative process works at the state level, updates on issues affecting physical therapy and a chance to meet and talk with your local elected legislators and their staff.

One of the most important places to advocate for physical therapy causes is in our state legislature. Establishing and maintaining a relationship with your legislator allows you to communicate what’s important to your patients, your practice and other therapists in your district. It’s also a perfect time to thank legislators for their past support.

2 contact hours will be awarded to attendees.
