As the legislative session opens in 2018, we will be heading to the capitol February 27th for our OANA Legislative Day. We will be joined by our nursing colleagues from the Oklahoma Nursing Association and Association of Oklahoma Nurse Practitioners as well.  When you arrive at the capitol please find an OANA board member or lobbyist and they will provide you with the folders and materials for you to give to your legislators. You can contact myself, Maria Roberson, Dan Patten with the lobby team, or our GRC Chair Vic Long. Our contact information can be found attached to this email below.

If you know you will be at the capitol for Legislative Day, please contact your representative and senator’s offices this week or early next week and schedule an appointment with their office for that day.  I have attached a sample email you can use if you are unsure of what to write to set up the appointment and a link to find your representative. 

For our members who can not make it to the capital in person that day, we will have virtual events all day for you to participate in. I will send more details out in the next few weeks about the virtual events.
