Advocacy in Action
Bringing the Voice of the Dental Benefits Industry to Washington
NADP Advocacy in Action (AIA) gives NADP members an opportunity to take an active role in federal advocacy and engage directly with policymakers on issues affecting dental benefits, oral health, and access to affordable dental coverage.
Through Advocacy in Action, participants come together in Washington, D.C., to meet with congressional offices, share the dental benefits industry’s perspective, and help policymakers better understand how federal policy decisions can affect dental plans, employers, providers, and the millions of Americans they serve.
Your Voice Makes a Difference
Effective advocacy is strengthened by the experience and perspective of NADP members. Advocacy in Action connects policymakers with the people who understand the dental benefits marketplace firsthand.
Whether you are an experienced advocate or participating for the first time, NADP provides the information and preparation needed to participate in congressional meetings and communicate effectively about the industry’s federal policy priorities.
