Mohs Surgeons Have No Better Champion than YOU!
Be a leader...in your job, in your profession, in your community, and help shape the future of Mohs Surgery.
The American College of Mohs Surgery Key Contact Program is the Society's grassroots advocacy program. Through the Key Contact Program, members can learn about public policy issues important to our profession and help advance the priorities of the profession through interaction with elected leaders. The program will help Key Contacts, like you, stay informed about developments in Washington that affect you and learn about opportunities to get involved.
Become a Key Contact!
Do you have a relationship with a federal legislator? As an ACMS Key Contact, you work with a federal legislator from your state or district and educate him/her on issues important to you and your patients. Our goal is to match each member of the House and Senate with an ACMS Key Contact.
What is a Key Contact?
A Key Contract is an ACMS Mohs surgeon who is the designated contact for a specific congressional district or state or lives in a district/state of a Member of Congress who serves on a key health related committee. The Key Contact has/will develop a strong, positive relationship with his or her legislators and is willing to contact them, as needed.
Objectives:
The most important role of a Key Contact is to be a liaison. As a Mohs surgeon, you are an important part of helping the College communicate with Members of Congress. You live and vote in your district and/or state, therefore, your voice counts.
What Key Contacts do:
-- Know and understand the Mohs College legislative priorities and initiatives
-- Meet with his/her legislator to review legislative priority issues of the Mohs College
