About the Forum The National PACE Association (NPA) invites you to join us for the 2019 NPA Spring Policy Forum in Washington, DC. The coming year has significant potential for PACE, with new PACE-specific regulations expected to debut, along with many other anticipated health care policy changes. Attending the Spring Policy Forum will give you an opportunity to hear directly from experts about the issues of greatest interest to you, as well as to share your thoughts with legislators and other policy-makers. During the two-day event, attendees will interact with political, legislative and policy experts. Policy issues will be the focus of the first day of the forum, while the second day will emphasize politics and advocacy. We welcome you to attend the forum to learn, advocate, and network about the issues affecting PACE today and in the future. NPA Capitol Hill Advocacy Day PACE growth and innovation cannot take place effectively without the ongoing support of federal elected officials. Your U.S. senators and representatives need to hear from you directly since PACE leaders are the best-equipped messengers to share the beneficial differences PACE makes in the lives of participants, families and communities. participants, and how federal policy can best support PACE quality, efficiency, growth and innovation. Through a pre-conference webinar, attendees will receive information about conducting Capitol Hill visits and communicating PACE policy priorities. Advocacy training also will be provided as part of the forum. In addition, advocacy resources will be posted on the NPA website and made available on the Spring Policy Forum mobile app for on-site reference. The NPA Policy Team is happy to provide support to you in scheduling and conducting Hill meetings. For more information, contact Francesca Fierro O Reilly, vice president of Advocacy.
