Legislative Leadership Conference
 
On March 24th, 2004 several MAPU Board Members participated in the Massachusetts Medical Society’s Legislative Leadership Conference held at MMS Headquarters.
 
Drs. Jeffrey Steinberg, Susan Pursell and Jerry Rittenhouse represented the state’s urologists in this interactive workshop to improve advocacy efforts at the state and federal levels.
 
Skills building sessions included challenging role-playing scenarios on various topics including:

“ How to Testify: When You Have Two Minutes to Tell Your Story and No One Seems to be Listening”

“ Black and White and Read All Over: Making Your Case To the Media and the Public”
 
“ Making It Happen: Grassroots Strategies for Your District,Alliance and Specialty Societies”

In addition, attendees met with State Senator Robert Havern (D-Arlington) to get first hand feedback on how to communicate effectively with legislators.
 
In summary, your MAPU colleagues gained valuable skills to further our important legislative agenda with our elected officials – a very worthwhile experience!
