WASHINGTON – The Grassroots Accountability Project (GAP) is recruiting advocates to strengthen the voice of the DMEPOS industry in government. The program aims to place at least one advocate in every congressional district across the U.S. to build meaningful relationships with legislators. GAP focuses on patients, providers and access to care, operating as a non-partisan effort where participants set aside personal politics to focus on industry education, says AAHomecare. Volunteers receive professional coaching from Stephanie Legree (AAHomecare) and Emily Kettman (VGM Government Relations), along with concise talking points and staff contact lists. The role offers real-world leadership experience and a deeper understanding of government processes, often requiring only a few minutes of time for outreach. Share your info via the Grassroots Accountability Project Signup Form to help improve the program's reach and reach out to Legree (stephaniel@aahomecare.org) or Kettman (emily.kettman@vgm.com) to get started.
