Pennsylvania at the White House

So now that I believe it's okay to announced, I have been invited by the White House to participate in a delegation of Pennsylvanians for a Community Leaders Briefing (CLB) in the White House this Friday, March 23. The goals of the White House Community Leaders Briefing Series are:
  • To ensure the public is well-informed about government policies and programs and how they can utilize these resources
  • To ensure that the White House is hearing from the public about how government policies and programs can serve them better. 
  • To brief leaders on the tools and resources available to their communities, so that they can return home better armed to connect individuals to the policies and programs of the federal government.
One of the most important topic being discussed will be the Affordable Care Act. The CLB coincides with the second anniversary of the signing of the landmark healthcare reform legislation. Be sure to follow the Twitter hashtag #attheWH this Friday for up-to-date tweets.  And just in case you have to know, this is a nonpartisan event.
