Fifth Annual Public Policy Forum The advocacy campaign that achieved passage of the Udall Act was described as “a textbook lobbying effort.” The Public Policy Forum has been the classroom for that campaign— teaching advocacy skills and organizing face-to-face lobbying with Congress. PAN's annual Public Policy Forum is a unique and highly substantive event for active members of the Parkinson's community. For the past four years the Forum has provided participants with many valuable experiences, including: • Networking, sharing and learning with advocates from across the country • Advocacy training for novices and veterans alike • Direct lobbying opportunities with elected officials and key staff • Research updates from prominent Parkinson's scientists • Informative presentations by legislators, agency officials and other experts Now is the time to begin planning your trip. See if your support group can underwrite your expenses. The skills you learn and the work you do will benefit not only yourself, but your support group, community and every person with Parkinson's. **A limited number of scholarships are available.
