Save the date: IZCoalitions Network webinar about AVAC and The 317 Coalition scheduled for December 5
Please save the date! The Immunization Action Coalition (IAC) invites you to participate in a 1-hour webinar for immunization coalition leaders, members, and those who collaborate with coalitions on Tuesday, December 5, at noon ET (11:00 a.m. CT).
The webinar will primarily focus on two groups that work on the Hill to secure and ensure continued Hill support for adult vaccination. Abby Bownas, Adult Vaccine Access Coalition (AVAC) and Mark Mioduski, The 317 Coalition, will discuss the history and current mission and objectives of their organizations, and how coalitions can engage with them. In addition, they will give a quick update on what is happening with vaccine legislation on the Hill.
In addition, Phyllis Arthur, Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), will provide information about the current effort on a recent Oregon ballot initiative, and update participants on what is happening.
We will circulate the final agenda and call-in information the week before the conference call. Hope you all can make it!
