Become an Active Advocate for Long Term Care before the Texas Legislature. “Every Voice Counts!”: With the 85th Texas Legislature now convened, this is a key time for all in the long term care professionals, Providers and Business Members, to unite, be as informed as possible, and reach out to our Texas Legislators. THCA has begun morning Legislative Briefings at the THCA office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for members who schedule meetings with their State Senator, State Representative, and capitol staff.
THCA Provider members are already on the capitol visits calendar so don’t delay in getting yourself on the schedule too!
This is an excellent opportunity to walk the halls of the Texas Capitol while advocating for the long term care with your clients and potential clients as “Every Voice Counts!” Contact Scot Kibbe, THCA’s Director of Government Relations skibbe@txhca.org for more information and to be placed on the schedule.
THCA Region Meetings: THCA Region Chairs host Regional Meetings in each of their respective areas across the state for long term care providers. This is an excellent and exclusive opportunity for THCA Associate Business Members to support by attending, sponsoring and/or partnering with THCA’s Education Foundation to provide an informative, educational presentation with Continuing Education Credit for attendees.
If you are not familiar with the THCA Regional meetings and would like to learn more, contact Gina Muniz at the THCA office, gmuniz@txhca.org; (512) 458-1257.
