Federal Advocacy
Member Sections serve as professional units of the Maine Public Health Association and conduct activities that promote our mission and goals. Member Sections provide opportunities for members to develop scientific/educational program content; develop policy papers in areas of interest or fields of practice; provide professional and social networking, career development, and mentoring.
The Federal Advocacy Member Section focuses on public health advocacy to preserve core federal public health funding and programs that impact Maine. In this section, you will learn about current federal policy and advocacy priorities, along with relevant state-level information and opportunities, and information on how to engage in advocacy efforts to promote and protect public health policies.
Get Involved
Involvement in the Member Sections is highly encouraged. Member Sections provide opportunities for professional development and networking, along with opportunities to play a role in informing current public health policy and education of other public health colleagues, lawmakers and Maine residents. Member Section participants range from those who are new to public health to those with over 20 years of experience. Participants are required to be active member of the Maine Public Health Association and can join the Member Section at any time.
The Federal Advocacy Member Section meets on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 12pm via Zoom.
