Next Steps on State Income Tax on Millionaires

Ever wonder what it takes to run a successful campaign? AMPAC, the political action committee of the American Medical Association, is excited to announce that the AMPAC Campaign School will be returning this Sept. 10-13 at the AMA offices in Washington, D.C.

Running an effective campaign can be the difference between winning and losing a race. That’s why the campaign school is designed to give you the skills and strategic approach you will need on the campaign trail. AMA’s team of political experts will teach you everything you need to know to run a successful campaign. Participants will be broken into campaign staff teams to run a simulated congressional campaign using what they’ve learned during group sessions on strategy, vote targeting, social media, advertising, and more.

Attendees may include physicians, spouses of physicians, residents, medical students, and state medical society staff interested in becoming more involved in politics. Participants range from those attracted to grassroots efforts to those considering becoming a candidate for public office. No matter where you are in the process, you will develop a new understanding of how campaigns are run. As a graduate of the AMPAC program, candidates will rely on you to give them advice on strategy, message, and campaign plans.

• The program is open to AMA physician members, member spouses, residents, medical students, and state medical society staff.
• Registration fee is $350 for AMA members and member spouses and $1,000 for non-AMA members. This fee is waived for AMA residents and students; however, space is limited and the AMPAC board will review and select four participants from the pool of qualified resident and student applicants.
• Faculty, materials, and all meals during the meeting are covered by the AMA. Participants are responsible for their registration fee, travel to and from Washington, DC, and hotel accommodations (AMPAC staff will provide you with a list of nearby hotels within walking distance of the AMA offices).
• Participants will be required to bring a laptop or Wi-Fi enabled tablet with them.

Space is limited, and the deadline to register is Aug. 10 (or sooner if maximum capacity is reached). Register online.
