Grassroots Accountability Project (GAP) Seeks HME Volunteers
ARLINGTON, VA – AAHomecare and VGM are partners on the Grassroots Accountability Project (GAP), an initiative focused on strengthening the industry’s presence on Capitol Hill. They are in need of HME stakeholders to volunteer as primary contacts for specific members of the House and Senate.
What is a GAP Advocate?
As a GAP advocate, you will maintain a presence with your assigned legislator to educate them and activate their support for critical HME issues. This helps secure more legislative champions.
How Advocacy Works
When an “ask” is made (such as support for a specific bill), GAP advocates are alerted via email. You will be asked to contact your member (via email, call, or visit) using provided talking points. AAHomecare and VGM strongly encourage you to customize these points and tell your own story to maximize the impact.
Be an Advocate – Take the Next Step
Are you interested in covering your House or Senate legislator? Reach out; AAHomecare’s Program Manager, Stephanie Legree, can discuss the GAP further. Reach out via email at [email protected] to set up a meeting today.
