New Opportunity: Pew Children's Dental Campaign Partner’s Meeting
posted: Thursday, August 26, 2010
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is working in partnership with The Pew Charitable Trusts Children's Dental Campaign to improve children’s oral health. Pew’s Children’s Dental Campaign works in partnership with numerous states on several campaigns to improve the oral health of our nation’s children. This includes working with the AAP and state AAP chapters in 10 states and the District of Columbia to advocate for Medicaid payment to physicians who provide preventive dental services to young children. Yours is one of these 10 states and DC where such payment is not yet provided.
As you know, several exciting meetings are planned for this fall, including the Medicaid Payment for Caries Prevention Advocacy Training (MPCPAT) and the Chapter Advocate Training on Oral Health (CATOOH) on November 5-6, 2010 at the American Academy of Pediatrics in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
An additional meeting has been scheduled that may be of interest to you. We are writing to invite you to the first annual invitation-only Partner’s Meeting of the Pew Children’s Dental Campaign. This meeting will be held November 16 – 18, 2010 in Washington, DC and will bring together representatives from all the state and national organizations with which Pew partners as they seek to improve children’s oral health. This meeting offers a unique opportunity to network with others — both from your state and other states — who are working to improve children’s oral health, to build skills in messaging and in creating successful collaborations, and to learn of new research and developments at the federal level.
Meeting details are as follows:
Pew Children’s Dental Campaign
Partnering for Policy Change:
Moving a Children's Dental Health Agenda
November 16–18, 2010
Grand Hyatt Washington
1000 H Street NW, Washington, DC
Participant’s attendance at this meeting (one attendee per state), including airfare, hotel, and meals will be supported by the Pew Children’s Dental Campaign.
We appreciate that the time you have to attend conferences and meetings is extremely limited; however AAP chapter representation from your state would be very welcome at this meeting. If a representative from your AAP chapter can attend only one of the above meetings, we urge you to begin or continue your training in oral health advocacy on November 5 & 6 at the MPCPAT and/or CATOOH meetings in Elk Grove Village, Illinois.
However, if a representative from your state AAP chapter or chapter public policy staff/lobbyist is able to take advantage of this additional meeting, we urge you to do so. We encourage the AAP chapter Executive Director in each state to coordinate who from the chapter will attend this meeting, if you are able to do so. We know this meeting will be of incredible strategic value in your efforts to improve children’s oral health in your state.
For more information, please contact Rosalinda Ortega at rortega@pewtrusts.org or 202-862-9872.
