Exclusive Seminar: Yes You Can! Carrying the HIV Message to the New
Administration
Supported by Bristol-Myers Squibb
Location: Plaza A, Lobby Level
Level: Intermediate
In
his first weeks in office, President Obama made it clear that
healthcare reform would be one of the new administration’s highest
priorities. And the announcement of the Act Against AIDS campaign and
the revitalization of the Office of National AIDS Policy indicate that
HIV will be given the attention it deserves. If there were ever a time
to make your voice heard, it’s now. But how do you get your message
across in the new administration? This seminar will provide an overview
of the new administration’s healthcare reform plans and how they affect
the HIV/AIDS landscape, and explore the possible impact on people
living with HIV/AIDS. Expert lobbyists will offer insights on how to
work with the new administration and congress on HIV advocacy issues,
and participants will have the opportunity to engage in open discussion
with the full panel of moderators.
