Advocacy
Welcome to the Maine AAP's NEW Advocacy Dashboard!
The Maine AAP recognizes how critical it is to work at the state and national policy level to improve systems of care for children and adolescents.
Our Board, with input from Chapter Members, is charged with developing a legislative agenda and coordinating with other child health advocacy organizations to advance this agenda in the legislature. We keep members appraised of and alerted to important issues using the Chapter’s list-serve and E-Newsletter.
