In this episode of NATA-Cast, recorded during NATA’s Hit the Hill Day in Washington, D.C., hosts Mollie Pillman, MS, MBA, CAE, and Katie Scott, MS, ATC, CAE, are joined by Deanna Kuykendall, NATA’s Director of Government Affairs, and Jim Twaddell, Senior Policy Advisor at Venable LLP, to discuss the impact of advocacy in action for athletic trainers. The conversation highlights how ATs connect directly with congressional offices to advance key priorities, including mental health funding through the Dr. Lorna Breen Act and efforts to standardize credentialing within the Defense Health Agency. They also reflect on the success of grassroots efforts like the H2F campaign and share ways members can stay engaged through district meetings, action campaigns, and ongoing feedback.
NATA-Cast is produced by Association Briefings.
