Governor Schwarzenegger to Keynote CMA’s Legislative Leadership Conference

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has accepted CMA’s invitation to give the keynote address at CMA’s Legislative Leadership Conference, Tuesday, April 24. The governor will address the more than 500 physician attendees just prior to their afternoon legislative meetings.

The governor’s participation in CMA’s annual legislative conference will give physicians an opportunity to hear about his health care reform proposal. This is a unique event for California physicians and is free of charge to all CMA members.

A revamped schedule will include more time than ever to meet with your elected officials in the State Assembly and Senate. Attendees will receive a CMA health policy briefing and a short course on “Lobbying 101,” which will train them to become strong physician advocates and prepare them for the legislative meetings later in the day.

Attendees will also listen in as two of the state’s top political strategists – Democratic political consultant Richie Ross and Republican strategist Dan Schnur – discuss the political landscape and the potential for real health reform.

There is no charge to attend this conference, but registration is required.
