April 12<outlook-data-detector://25> Legislative Day Activities

10:30 AM<outlook-data-detector://26> | The Pennsylvania Process:

Each legislative body has slightly different rules and processes for a bill to become law. However, knowing that process is essential for you to maximize your influence. Join us as we take a fun and interactive deep dive on how a bill becomes a law in PA! Plus, we will be joined by the four PA Community Pharmacy Caucus Co-Chairs for a panel discussion and Q & A session.



1:30 PM<outlook-data-detector://27> | My Profession, My Role:

Politics start locally, and your legislators want to hear from you. But getting your message across, the right way, through the right channel is important to ensuring effectiveness. Our second session will focus on how YOU can best advocate for your profession. What’s the best tricks of the trade? We’ll be joined by the PPA State Government Affairs team of Versant Strategies for this engaging session.
