Advocacy & Leadership Conference
Registration
The Society for Vascular Surgery is proud to host its inaugural Advocacy & Leadership Conference. This landmark event will unite vascular surgeons, trainees and other professionals from across the country to engage directly in the policymaking process and champion the needs of the specialty and the patients we serve.
Over the course of 2.5 impactful days, attendees will have a seat at the table as we:
- Learn about key legislative and regulatory issues affecting vascular surgery and health care delivery.
- Develop advocacy skills through interactive training sessions and expert-led discussions.
- Engage with Members of Congress and senior policy staff during scheduled Capitol Hill visits with YOUR Representatives and other key players.
- Connect with peers and policy leaders to build a stronger, more unified voice for vascular surgery.
Whether you're new to advocacy or a seasoned policy champion, this conference will equip you with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to make a difference.
