The ALS Association is at the forefront of public policy working to improve the lives of people living with ALS and their caregivers. Our federal advocacy work focuses on educating and mobilizing all members of Congress in a nonpartisan fashion to achieve the mission of The ALS Association: to discover treatments and a cure for ALS, and to serve, advocate for, and empower people affected by ALS to live their lives to the fullest.
Join the ALS Association Evergreen Chapter as we highlight past legislative successes and 2021 priorities. We will also discuss the importance of building relationships with legislators. Our esteemed presenters will be Abram Bieliauskas, Associate Director of Government Affairs at the ALS Association, Jean Gronewald, President of the ALS Evergreen Chapter and Chair of the Advocacy Committee and Rebecca Alcorn, Legislative Assistant to Representative Mike Crapo (R-ID).
