Political Advocacy

Political Liaison Committee

NADE's Political Liaison Committee is a good place to start when exploring political advocacy. The Committee serves as a clearinghouse of information among the NADE chapter political liaisons, identifies key issues on the state and national level, and oversees the NADE political liaison newsletter (The Liaison).
