The American Academy of Sleep Medicine Political Action Committee (AASM PAC) will be hosting a PAC lunch on Friday during Sleep Medicine Trends 2016 in Phoenix, Arizona. Mr. Robert Graham, Chairman of the Arizona GOP, will be the speaker for this event. His presentation will address the intersection of the health policy debate at both the federal and state levels, the importance of AASM members becoming directly involved in the political process, and how PAC donations support sleep-medicine friendly lawmakers.
It is important for the AASM PAC to be active this year as Americans will do much more than elect the 45th President of the United States. A third of the U.S. Senate and the entire House of Representatives also will be facing an election.
Last election, on behalf of sleep specialists nationwide, the AASM PAC strategically donated to 30 sleep-friendly, successful congressional campaigns. Now, with 2014’s victories behind us, the AASM PAC needs to set the bar even higher as Americans head to the polls this fall.
In the time it takes to pay your monthly electric bill, members can make an online donation to the AASM PAC. What are our goals for 2016? How can your individual efforts strengthen the AASM PAC and the sleep medicine field? Access our game plan for 2016 and beyond on the AASM PAC page on the Evolve Sleep website.
