Key Contact Program

The MassAFP Key Contact Program

The MassAFP Key Contact Program is a strategic grassroots advocacy program designed to help the MassAFP build strong, on-going relationships with legislators across the Commonwealth. The program allows the MassAFP to identify family physician members who personally know their legislators and help develop those relationships to increase the Academy's influence in the legislative process.

The Key Contact program also provides the MassAFP with a list of physician members who are knowledgeable in specific issue areas and are willing to meet with elected officials or testify at legislative committee hearings.
