The Academy created the Audiology Advocacy Toolkit to equip Academy members, advocates, and ambassadors with the tools to effectively engage with policymakers at both the state and federal levels. Whether you are preparing for a Hill meeting, building relationships with policymakers, or advocating for key legislative priorities, this toolkit provides practical guidance to support your efforts.

Inside, you’ll find ready-to-use materials, including meeting scripts, issue briefs, and step-by-step guides that help you communicate the value of audiology and advance policies that improve the profession. Advocacy is most effective when it is consistent, informed, and personal. This toolkit helps you do all three.
