The Public Policy Institute is one of the Epilepsy Foundation of America's signature advocacy initiatives. This conference brings together people living with epilepsy, family members, local Epilepsy Foundation office staff, healthcare providers, and volunteers from across the country to make a difference. Participants have the opportunity to visit the nation's capital to receive advocacy training and meet with their lawmakers to share their experiences and discuss issues that are vital to the epilepsy community. I’ll be working wit individuals to embrace their story and tell it in a succinct and impactful way.
