ADVOCACY IN WASHINGTON, DC The Florida Chapter makes federal legislation and regulation a priority because of its significant impact on the cardiology community. The chapter monitors legislation, sends alerts about pending Congressional action, creates sample letters, shares important information about the impact of regulation on practices and patients and rallies the membership for call-in campaigns and letter writing campaigns. The chapter represents cardiology in Washington, DC and is a source of information for lawmakers and their staff. PIPELINE TO ACC COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS ACC makes it clear that the pathway to a national committee appointment is through service at the chapter level. FCACC is fortunate to have committee openings and ways for chapter members to be involved and serve in the state. The chapter leadership consistently recommends chapter members for national appointments - a glace at the Board of Trustees and Committee System at the national level are evidence that these recommendations are taken in consideration in Washington. |
