Surgical Specialty Societies Launch State Legislative Action Center

The ACS and 11 other surgical specialty societies are launching a new Surgery State Legislative Action Center (SSLAC). The SSLAC is an electronic advocacy tool that utilizes the same software program and zip code matching technology that the College and many other national specialty societies use for federal advocacy efforts. This system matches surgeons with their elected state representatives—allowing them to communicate directly with members of their state legislatures on an ad-hoc basis or through a coordinated grassroots campaign. Legislative alerts will be issued from the College and other surgical specialty societies beginning in January 2003. For more information about the SSLAC or if your ACS state chapter would like to post an alert on the action center, contact cgallagher@facs.org.
