AMPAC 2009 Campaign School - slots still available

4 March 2009

There are still a handful of slots remaining for AMPAC's Campaign School, April 15-19, 2009, in Pentagon City, VA. The School is for AMA members, students and spouses who wish to become involved in the political process as advocates and volunteers for medicine-friendly candidates. The program is organized around a simulated congressional campaign, where participants are put on campaign "staff" teams and attend lectures on campaign strategy, media advertising and political fundraising. Each team participates in nightly exercises such as creating a campaign strategy, taping a radio commercial, and writing a political fundraising letter. The agenda for this year’s school is being revamped to include the role of social networking in political campaigns. Several slots are still open for the 2009 Campaign School. All costs for AMA members, except transportation to the Washington, DC metro area, are borne by AMPAC, a significant benefit of AMA membership.
