Wisconsin AGD Fosters Working Relationship with Wisconsin Dental Association
As the 2020-2021 state legislative session approaches, the Wisconsin AGD and Wisconsin Dental Association (WDA) work to open regular communications around advocacy and discuss how the two organizations can partner as stakeholders in the oral health community. Wisconsin AGD President, Lou Boryc, DDS, FAGD, joined the WDA board at their most recent meeting to share AGD Advocacy state-level priorities and propose ideas for collaboration.
AGD Advocacy Takes Action at Local Levels
The AGD has worked diligently with constituents to help address issues during the COVID-19 emergency. This has included providing resources, creating state-specific action alerts and helping compose and send letters to government entities that express concerns of general dentists within their state. We are continually monitoring any action by state and territory governments, and assisting constituents as new issues arise or persist.
It is strongly encouraged that AGD members review all advocacy efforts related to COVID-19 which are highlighted on the AGD Coronavirus Webpage. Additionally, members should visit the AGD Action Center for access to specific efforts and to take action on pertinent issues.
