The AARC Grassroots Advocacy and Government Affairs Committee reports to the Board of Directors and works closely with the Advocacy and Government Affairs staff in AARC’s Executive Office. The committee serves as a resource to State Affiliates by promoting and supporting grassroots activities to further AARC’s legislative agenda. AARC engages in State Legislation involving licensure and scope of practice issues, as well as helping to establish the Respiratory Care Interstate Compact.
The Committee encourages Affiliates to visit with Members of Congress when Congressional leaders are in their home districts during Congressional recess. The Committee also works with AARC’s Political Action Contact Team representatives by providing peer-to-peer support especially for those attending the Respiratory Fly-in for the first time.
If you need assistance or have best practices to share, please reach out to Miriam O’Day, Senior Vice President of Government Affairs at miriam.oday@aarc.org. Miriam will help assist you and can help to identify how to contact a peer support volunteer if you would like to.
