Last week the LeadingAge national board of directors approved their Legislative and Regulatory Advocacy Priorities for 2018. The priorities were adopted using a new process led by the Public Policy Committee and developed in consultation with state executives from each LeadingAge affiliate. The 2018 priorities are classified as either:
- LEAD (maximum organizational effort and nationwide commitment)
- Could include multiple partners
- To be limited to 2 to 3 issues at any one time
- ENGAGE (moderate organizational effort and targeted activity)
- Examples include coalition work, participating in sign-on letters, submittal of statements for the record, comments on regulations
- MONITOR (active tracking)
The priorities will be used to develop a focused set of asks on issues most important to the membership that will be used on Capitol Hill visits with congressional delegates during PEAK in March.
