Call for Nominations 

ASH is proud to announce the initiation of its Advocacy Leadership Institute to be held October 12-13. This is a unique opportunity for ASH members to come to Washington, DC, to learn about legislation and health policy affecting hematology.

Participants will receive intense training in policy-making processes and advocacy; guest speakers from the federal government, including the NIH and the Administration, will be featured. Participants will conclude the program with visits to the Congressional delegation on Capitol Hill.

Nominations are currently being accepted through August 15, 2011. The ideal candidate is an ASH member residing in the United States who is interested in health policy and advocacy and would like to be more engaged in ASH activities.
