Events

Members come together annually for an important day of education and outreach at California’s State Capitol in Sacramento to advocate for the policies and priorities that most impact the dental hygiene profession. Capitol Lobby Day gives individual members the chance to meet and work with local legislators and the CDHA lobbying team of Aaron Read and Associates (ARA) to achieve CDHA’s policy agenda. 

With a unified voice and statewide representation, CDHA moves our legislative platform forward, which is centered on ensuring that:

• State healthcare policies prioritize cost-effective prevention
• Dental hygienists, as prevention specialists, comprise an available, educated and ready workforce that can be better utilized to help serve California's healthcare needs

Mark your calendars! The next Capitol Lobby Day is scheduled for Monday, March 8, 2027. Attendees will earn 1.5 Continuing Education (CE) credits, and the first 50 registrants will receive an exclusive Lobby Day pin! Stay tuned for registration information and additional event details.
