PDA's Day on the Hill
Scheduled for June 4, 2013

Help shape the future of the dental profession or it will be shaped for you!

New this Year:

Registration Deadline: May 14
Due to time constraints with scheduling appointments, reserving buses, etc., PDA will no longer accept late registrations. No exceptions.

Registration now closed. Due to limited seating on buses and having to establish teams for legislative visits in advance, PDA must close registration for this year’s Day on the Hill. We hope you will join us for Day on the Hill in 2014!
 
Registration will be held at the Radisson Hotel
in Camp Hill
Registration, along with pick-up and drop off for the Capitol, will take place at the Radisson Hotel in Camp Hill, NOT the PDA Central Office. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the lobbyists will begin speaking promptly at 8:50 a.m. We will begin boarding buses at 9:15 a.m.
 
Legislative Assignments
PDA will assign you to a team of four or five members, spouses and dental students and schedule legislative appointments in advance. Your team is responsible for meeting with key leaders and committee members. We also will make every effort to assign your team to visit your own legislators. If your legislators are not part of your team's assignments, please feel free to break away from your team to stop by their offices on your own and rejoin your team at another time. All appointments must take place between 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Due to scheduling changes with legislators, PDA will email your team assignment and legislative appointment schedule by close of business on Monday, June 3.
