Become a Part of the Congressional Advocacy Network

By Dr. Mark Lutschaunig, Director of the GRD

The AVMA needs your help to ensure that our voices continue to be heard by Congress. With your help, we'll be able to mobilize our base to impact the decisions that Congress makes. Join us this summer in person and online and help us grow the AVMA Congressional Advocacy Network (AVMA-CAN).

Sign-up for AVMACAN at the AVMA Convention in Seattle
AVMA-CAN will have a booth at the 2009 AVMA Annual Convention. AVMA staff will be there to discuss our legislative agenda and answer any questions you may have. Please stop by our booth to say "Hello" and sign-up for AVMACAN.

AVMA-CAN Government Action Center Launched -- Website will make it easier for AVMA members to get involved
The AVMA recently partnered with Capwiz to launch the AVMA-CAN Government Action Center. This website will make it much easier for AVMA members, Student AVMA members, staff and the public to get involved in issues that are important to the AVMA.

AVMA-CAN members can access information about their Members of Congress, track their votes on specific pieces of legislation and email them to provide input on legislation or issues impacting the AVMA and veterinary profession. In addition, visitors to the website can learn more about the AVMA's legislative agenda and how they can help advance the legislative agenda in the 111th Congress.

Sign up for AVMACAN and be part of an important, influential team!
