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. Legislative 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

SAVE THE DATE for Local Lobby Day

Block Friday, October 9 on your calendars to join CDHA in celebrating DENTAL HYGIENE MONTH with a visit to the local office of your Senate/Assembly representative.

CDHA members will visit legislators in their local district offices to share the importance of dental hygienists in health care. It is important to know your legislator and network with fellow hygienists.

WHY?
Legislators need to KNOW who we are and what we do for their constituents! We are valuable health care providers.

Registration will open on August 21.

Questions? Please contact memberservices@cdha.org or Government Relations Co-Chair, Susan McLearan at smclearan@gmail.com.
