You’re Invited – American Heart Association Lobby Day Feb. 7th – Wear Red Day!
We’d love for you to join SHAPE VT alongside the American Heart Association at our legislative breakfast and lobby day on February 7th, where we’ll be promoting cardiac emergency response plan legislation (SHAPE VT members can apply for travel compensation to attend as a part of a grant from the American Heart, email irgogarty@gmail.com)
Please register so we can connect everyone with their lawmakers. The link to register is also included in our alert below. Feel free to share it with your members and/or colleagues. It’s also Wear Red Day so wear your red, and we’ll give you a Nation of Lifesavers t-shirt!
Interested in Cardiac Response Plans? Here's how you can get involved:
- Visit the American Heart Association action site to learn more.
- Encourage your school or district to make a plan
- Write a letter to your legislator! (SHAPE VT members can apply for compensation for their time as a part of a grant from the American Heart Association; email irgogarty@gmail.com for more information)
