Webinar Description:

This workshop helped trainees learn how to educate policymakers in DC and at home. It also taught trainees how to connect their experience and expertise to policy. Finally, the workshop helped prepare trainees for the virtual 2023 Disability Policy Seminar that was on Monday, April 24th, and the fly-in hill day on Thursday, April 27th. 

AUCD’s Policy Team and Invited Guests reviewed:

• the basics of how the federal government works;
• received tips for meeting with and educating policymakers; and
• how to frame policy priorities for effective impact.

For Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Leaders, the workshop helped address Policy, one of the 12 Maternal and Child Health Leadership Competencies.
