The 2021 NPA Spring Policy Forum will be held as a virtual event on Monday, April 12, at noon to 6:30 p.m. ET and on Thursday, April 15, at noon to 5:45 p.m. ET. During the two days of sessions, attendees will learn about the Biden Administration, the new Congress, and other issues impacting the federal PACE policy environment. The agenda for the forum is now available on the event site.

Please register online for the Spring Policy Forum. To attend all live sessions, register no later than April 11. For assistance with registration, including payment by check, contact Jessica Chan, manager of Association Services, at info@npaonline.org or 703-535-1565. We highly recommend registering to attend the live sessions on April 12 and 15. While we plan to record sessions to be available through June 10, not all sessions are available to be recorded.

This virtual event replaces the in-person conference that originally was scheduled for March 22-23 in Washington, DC. While we are disappointed not to be able to meet in person as previously planned, we are committed to providing a valuable online educational experience.

Training Webinars on PACE Advocacy

NPA offered three virtual advocacy training sessions to help prepare members for requesting and leading Zoom meetings with their U.S. representatives and senators:

• Become a PACE Advocate: An Advocacy Primer: An introductory training course on PACE-related advocacy designed for those without prior advocacy experience.
• Bringing Your A-Game to Advocacy: Designed for seasoned advocates to ensure they bring their “A game” to every PACE-related advocacy effort.
• Enhance Your PACE Advocacy by Incorporating Effective Storytelling: Tips for developing a PACE story to influence the decision-making of members of Congress and other elected officials and policy-makers.

To view recordings of the sessions, visit our Advocacy Resources webpage.
