1 - Become an OAPA member, maintain your membership through dues renewal, and encourage others to join. When it comes to government advocacy, strength in numbers is critical!
2 - Register to attend PA Advocacy Day at the Ohio Statehouse on October 22, 2025! Practicing PAs, PA educators, and PA students from around the state are invited to participate.
3 - Show what you know as one of OAPA's go-to experts. If you have strong expertise in one or more specialty areas of PA practice, raise your hand so we can turn to you when pertinent legislation comes along.
4 - Share your story to amplify our advocacy efforts, stay informed of PA practice issues in Ohio, and share legislative news with your colleagues.
5 - Provide additional financial support through OAPA Legislative Fund (to supporting lobbying and advocacy activities) and OAPA Political Action Committee (PAC) (to provide candidate and campaign contributions).
If so, please contact us at oapa@ohiopa.com to discuss!
Just a friendly reminder that you're always welcome to reach out to your legislators to share your views as a PA and a resident on topics that matter to you. However, please refrain from stating that you are contacting them "on behalf of OAPA" or "on behalf of Ohio PAs." Before reaching out to legislators about health or healthcare-related legislation, we recommend contacting us first to check if we're already working on the issue and if we have any talking points available to support your outreach. Thank you!
