Re: URGENT - AUGUST 24 CONFERENCE - PLEASE READ
Hi Coalition, PLLF, and Other Colleagues
On behalf of the Steering Committee for the Patient Advocacy Leaders Summit I want to ask your help in spreading the word far and wide about the PALS conference to be held on Friday, August 24 at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill.
The theme of the day is "The Impact of Health Care Reform on Patients: what is the Role of Advocates?" Attendance is aimed at people in advocacy, policy roles - members of your staff, CFAC members, anyone who is interested in public policy around health care reform and how to make an impact for people.
There is no charge for this event - the Steering Committee has received a grant from GSK which is being administered by the NC Psychological Foundation.
*See attached flyer and registration form.*
Due to the funding, licensed providers and state employees are not eligible to attend.
A list of the Steering Committee is posted below.
WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please send this information out to your networks to encourage people to attend. It is an excellent opportunity to hear from Pam Silberman from the NC Institute of Medicine about what will happen now that the Supreme Court has upheld the Affordable Care Act. The person who will be speaking on using social networking and media messaging is an expert who will give us practical advise on these important tools.
Lunch and the afternoon will be devoted to brainstorming about practical ideas and solution in North Carolina.
While this isn't just about behavioral healthcare we want a huge showing from our community.
Please send this far and wide, consider having someone from your staff attend. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions.
Really appreciate your help.
Sally
