23-F. Policy Update: Workforce Priorities

Join us for this wide-ranging overview of the current landscape of workforce policy in the second session of the 118th Congress. Workforce experts will share their perspectives on the current administration’s workforce priorities and promising legislation moving through Congress. Come prepared to discover what you can do to influence and shape workforce policy through advocacy on Capitol Hill and in your district. We’ll discuss the proposed skilled nursing staffing mandate, immigration, education policies that support the direct care workforce, and nursing scope-of-practice in residential care and home and community-based services. You’ll walk away feeling prepared for Lobby Day and ready to tell congressional leaders about your organization’s need for comprehensive workforce reform.
