The National Conference of State Legislators (NCSL) welcomed more than 7,000 attendees to its Legislative Summit in Chicago July 27-29. DPC was thrilled to participate in this bipartisan event as part of our legislative advocacy work at the state level. Megan Hashbarger, Senior Vice President of Government Relations, and State Advocacy Directors, Elizabeth Lively and Pamela Zielske, attended the event and shared updates on DPC’s critically important work in the states to increase access to affordable Medigap coverage.
Over the course of the Summit, we heard numerous stories from attendees who have family members or friends facing kidney disease. Legislators or staff members from Arkansas, Arizona, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Rhode Island, Washington and others visited the DPC booth in the Exhibit Hall to learn more about our work in the states.
The NCSL Summit continues to be an outstanding opportunity to network and build partnerships with state legislators, their staff, and organizational partners. This important event allows us to showcase our state and grassroots advocacy work, and we look forward to participating in next year’s Summit in Atlanta.
