I am officially an experienced federal lobbyist. I had an empowering experience today. As some of you may or may not know I am a member of the Adult Congenital Heart Association (ACHD). This association is a part of the Congenital Heart Coalition (CHC), as are The Children Heart Foundation, Mended Little Hearts, It's My Heart, Adult congenital & Pediatric Cardiology and the Congenital Heart Information Network. It was reassuring to see all of us come together for one common interest...to support congenital heart disease.
I am still processing my lobbying experiences. My mission for the day was to inform Congressmen about a bill that will be introduced to the Senate. The Congenital Heart Futures Act is a bill that is in the process of being crafted by CHC and Senator Durbin. This act will 1) increase research 2) promote awareness. This bill will need their support.
Unfortunately, I was not able to personally speak with a congressmen. However I met with Senator Brownbacks' and Roberts' staffers.
I look forward to sharing more very soon.
