| Are you coming to Washington, DC to attend ASAM's Annual Medical-Scientific Conference, April 14-17, 2011? Make time to meet with your Member of Congress. Mental health and addiction policies are hot topics these days on Capitol Hill! Take advantage of your proximity to Capitol Hill and schedule a short visit with your Congressperson or Senators. Share your concerns and your expertise as they relate to federal alcohol, drug and addiction treatment policies. ASAM's staff will arrange the visits for you. Staff will also provide a teleconference advocacy training session the week before you arrive in Washington. The training will include: an overview of timely issues and legislation, talking points for your Hill appointments, and general grassroots advocacy tips and techniques.
