NILA’s program on November 14th is focused on imminent issues facing our industry. Our speakers have been in the industry for many years, and all agree that the industry is evolving at a rate never seen before. We all need to learn to adapt and stay one step ahead of this evolution. This day will be filled with information and interaction!
November 15th will be our "Capitol Hill Day," jam-packed with Capitol Hill visits to your Members of Congress pre-arranged by NILA’s Washington representatives at Drinker Biddle & Reath. Let your senator and representatives know the devastating impact that continuing cuts to Medicare reimbursement will have on your business. Please be sure to sign up early so that your Capitol Hill appointments can be arranged. If you have never done this before, it is a very exciting experience! You will be well prepared for your Capitol Hill visits after attending the Drinker Biddle & Reath session on the 14th!
