AAOMPT Grass Roots Letter Writing Campaign Led by the AAOMPT Student SIG

As committee chairs and leaders within the student special interest group (sSIG) of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists (AAOMPT), we are writing concerning the upcoming AAOMPT National Conference which will be held October 14-18, 2009 in Washington DC. An integral part of this conference will be an exciting Capitol Hill Day Event on Thursday October 15th where participants, both physical therapists and students, will travel to Capitol Hill to meet with legislators regarding important issues impacting the physical therapy profession.

 

To this end we are writing to ask your help in recruiting students to attend this event by spreading the word about the conference and Capitol Hill Day. For more information and to register for the conference please visit the AAOMPT website:

Further, we are also organizing a grass roots letter writing campaign for ANYONE who can not attend this event. We will be compiling information on how to find your representatives, contact members of congress, talking points, and letter suggestions as well as timelines for contact. While this will be aimed at students, we want ANYONE and EVERYONE to participate.

If you would please pass on this information to any students we would be extremely appreciative. We will be sending you detailed information regarding the letter writing campaign. This information will also be posted on the sSIG website/blog. For more information please visit:
