Advocacy

Com­mu­ni­cat­ing with your leg­is­la­tors increas­es their under­stand­ing of occu­pa­tion­al ther­a­py, ensures they under­stand issues that impact our pro­fes­sion and pro­vides sup­port for our pro­fes­sion when IOTA seeks to sup­port or oppose a bill. Please take the time to learn who your leg­is­la­tors are and begin to build a part­ner­ship with them

A sam­ple let­ter can be found here to use to draft your email to your leg­is­la­tor: Ways to Con­tact Your Pol­i­cy Makers
