Advisory Councils

HCPA members also direct the policy agenda of the association through our Advisory Councils.

Councils like our Federal Government Relations Advisory Council and State Government Affairs Advisory Council identify key state legislative and regulatory issues affecting HCPA member companies and develop positions and strategies to help advance policies that support industry interests. Positions developed by the council are used for formal meetings with policymakers and for testimony used at hearings.
