Chair: Michelle Krichbaum Email: advocacy@palliativepharmacist.org Description: Advocacy is defined as any action that speaks in favor of, recommends, argues for a cause, supports or defends, or pleads on behalf of others. The role of this committee focused primarily on traditional legislative advocacy. In the spirit of adaptability and recognizing our individual needs, as well as those of the Society, we are re-envisioning advocacy. We would like to embody the many facets of advocacy and focus our short-term and long-term goals on supporting each other, our specialty & profession, and our patients. This will continue to entail engaging with legislators and drafting Society statements as appropriate based on current events. Advocacy intends to support membership in a variety of other ways. Our aim is to broaden our impact by engaging in purposeful support where it is needed most. Current Projects:
