It is hot in Phoenix, the AHDI-West conference is going full steam, and I just participated in a simulcast from here with other participant's of last month's Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C.  Many members of our industry who weren't able to attend this year's Advocacy Summit tuned in to hear about the accomplishments and learn how to advocate during the year.  Attendees unanimously agreed that this year's Summit was the best ever and the time invested was well worth it.  Our messages are critical, and legislators need to hear them.
