Time: 12:00-1:30 PM
Description: The
Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all MDHA activities, including MDHA’s Advocacy
Day at the State House. Each year dental
hygienists, dental hygiene students and oral health advocates convene at the
State House for a briefing on MDHA’s pending legislative initiatives and
remarks by key legislative sponsors of those initiatives followed by
constituent office visits. In lieu of an
in-person advocacy day, MDHA is presenting a virtual legislative update and
lobbying primer.
Please join Charles Glick, MDHA’s Government Affairs
Consultant and Katherine Pelullo, RDH, MEd, MDHA’s Legislative chair for a
legislative update and “how to” lobby during a pandemic.
Learning objectives:
- Upon completion of the webinar, participants will be able to:

- Discuss lobbying activities during Covid-19.
