What would you say about Alliance membership if you only had a short elevator ride to explain?

AMAA President Dianne Fenyk and the Intergrated Marketing Communications (IMC) Committee were wondering the same thing and decided to formulate an answer that tells about the members, Alliance initiatives and who benefits in two concise sentences, while also allowing for flexibilty depending on the audience and time frame available. 

"The AMA Alliance is a grassroots volunteer organization affiliated with the American Medical Association that's dedicated to educating and advocating for healthier communities and lifestyles.  Most of our 25,000 members are spouses of physicians and physicians-in-training, and we include many physician-members who support and participate in our work in our communities."

Cater your "elevator speech" to your involvement and practice it so that next time you are asked a question, you are ready!

Are you informed about presidential candidates' health care proposals?

As health care reform is shaping up to be one of the most important issues in the 2008 presidential election, a page on the AMA Web site now provides links directly to each declared candidate's health care proposal. The AMA's 2008 Advocacy Agenda includes efforts to expand health coverage for the uninsured, reform the Medicare physician payment system, reform the medical liability system, improve the health of the public, and more. Remember to keep these issues in mind when you're evaluating the proposals and platforms of the 2008 presidential candidates.
