California HME Update

Need Member Contact With Our Congressional Reps
If you are a AAHomecare member you already received this email but we need to do our best to establish contacts with our large Congressional delegation. It doesn't take a lot of time or effort but is important for our collective future. Some of you have already done so and thanks for your efforts. Take a few minutes to review the information below and invest in the industry future.
 
AAHomecare Members in California:
 
We are seeking your help with an industry-wide initiative to establish a volunteer HME contact for each of the 535 federal legislative offices!  As you well know, advocacy is a cornerstone of our Industry as we navigate through these transformative times.  We need to identify champions on Capitol Hill who will fight for the HME Industry and those we serve. 
 
In partnership with AAHomecare's State Leaders Council, we are working to assign a primary and secondary grassroots advocate to every legislator so that whenever there's a Call to Action/Ask, we know that we're hitting all of the offices.  Volunteers who sign up to participate will receive issue briefs and alerts with the latest information so that they are equipped to educate and active their Representative/Senator.  An educational Webinar will be available in January for those who are willing to serve but would like more information on how to effectively lobby a legislative office.
 
We are currently recruiting volunteers for the following legislators in California.  Note: we are particularly interested in generating contacts on key committees of jurisdiction, who are identified by the abbreviations in red:  House Ways and Means Committee (WM) - House Energy & Commerce Committee (EC) and Senate Finance Committee (SFC).
