Interested in advocating for your patients on Capitol Hill? Join us for the ASTS 2024 In-Person Advocacy Day to learn more about legislation affecting the transplant community and gain the tools needed to strategize and hone your message.
Participants will gather in the evening on September 4 for a briefing over dinner at Teddy & The Bully Bar (1200 19th St. NW, Washington, DC 20036) before meeting with Congressional office staff the next day. Participants will be divided into groups for meetings, and paired with ASTS staff.
There is no charge for register with this event. With registration, ASTS will provide a training session and dinner. All other expenses will be the participant's responsibility, including meals, airfare/train, ground transportation, and hotel accommodations.
