Advocacy

The National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) holds monthly Health Policy Learning Collaborative conference calls during which local chapters provide updates to the national legislative team. In addition, the NAPNAP lobbyist and health policy officers provide federal legislation updates and discuss planned actions. The Child Health Policy Collaborative is open to all NAPNAP members and meets at 8 p.m. ET via video conference on the first Wednesday of every month from Sept. to May.
 
If you are interested in joining the monthly meeting, please email healthpolicy@napnap.org.
 
Additionally, visit NAPNAP's advocacy center to learn how you can take action on NAPNAP's current advocacy campaigns, see key child health and practice legislation and find your elected official.
 
If there is specific legislation you would like to bring to our attention or if you are interested in leading our local legislative committee, please email our chapter at admin@upstatenynapnap.com, message our private Facebook group Upstate NY Chapter NAPNAP, or speak with a board member in person.
