Overview
2009 National Dental Student Lobby Day (NDSLD) offers a unique opportunity for dental students to leverage their dentistry interests and influence legislators. Attendees learn important information about legislation, and then take action in meetings with members of Congress from students' home districts. Meet with politicians, join other concerned dental students from throughout the nation, and help send a powerful message about issues critical to you and your colleauges! All dental students are welcome to participate. NDSLD is organized by the American Student Dental Association (ASDA) and the American Dental Education Association (ADEA).
Registration
Interested students may register through their school's lobby day coordinator. To find out who the lobby day coordinator is for your chapter, contact your chapter's leadership. A listing of delegates can be found in the National Leadership Directory under the leadership tab. The lobby day coordinators are required to complete the registration form and submit it to the ASDA Central Office by Friday, January 9, 2009. Hotel reservations must be made by this date as well.
