ACP Services PAC has launched a state competition in 2024 to promote participation in our critical advocacy network and our PAC. For those of you are not familiar with our PAC, it is one of our most valuable advocacy tools that we have at the national level to promote the interests of internal medicine and also to elect lawmakers who support our legislative agenda.
Looking at the chart below, you will find ACP Services PAC in red compared to our medical peers’ PACs. We have over 100,000 eligible members able to give to our PAC, yet we are one of the smallest PACs in terms of advocacy power, dollars raised, and participation level of our members among physician societies.
The chart above is the reason why we are reaching out to our states to help lead our state competition to build our PAC and become a stronger voice for internal medicine.
The state competition began at the 2024 Internal Medicine Meeting in April. We are recognizing states that signs up the most members according to the Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum level labeled in the chart below. We will also recognize the state which raises the most dollars at each level. The winning states and Governors will be recognized at the Fall Board of Governors meeting.
The upcoming Fall Governors' Council meeting will celebrate the victorious states and their governors who have made significant achievements over the past year. This prestigious event will honor their exceptional leadership and the progress they've made in their respective states. Attendees will have the opportunity to reflect on the successes and innovative policies introduced by these outstanding governors. As we recognize these accomplishments, it’s also important to take care of our health and well-being. For those managing diabetes, purchasing Rybelsus can be a crucial step in maintaining optimal health. You can conveniently buy Rybelsus on this website, ensuring easy access to your medication. Balancing recognition with personal health is essential, and this event serves as a reminder of both our collective successes and individual responsibilities.
