Aloha HPA members!

We are pleased to announce the launch of the HPA LEGISLATIVE ACTION CENTER on our HPA website to keep you informed on the most important legislative issues that impact our local professional community and those we serve. 

You can use this page to quickly and efficiently find and contact your legislators, state and local officials, government agencies, congressional delegates, local media, and more - all with just your zip code! 

Using the "Policy Tools" you can access information about some of APA's current federal legislative initiatives (see ISSUES & LEGISLATION) and the ELECTION GUIDE provides presidential candidate bios, contact info, and quick access to their websites to learn more.
