Valued Voice

While there are still three weeks until the event, WHA's Advocacy Day 2025 has officially surpassed 1,000 registrations! Don’t miss this opportunity to gather in Madison for a day of learning and advocating important health care issues facing our state.

This year's event will be held at the Monona Terrace in Madison on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, and features a fireside chat with Green Bay Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur and WHA President and CEO Eric Borgerding. During this session, LaFleur and Borgerding will discuss the importance of leadership in ever-changing environments and share insights on guiding diverse teams in dynamic organizations. Additionally, WHA will have an outstanding bipartisan legislative panel with lawmakers (to be announced soon!) who will share their insights on health care issues and the policymaking process.

There is no cost to attend Advocacy Day, but pre-registration is required. Register here.
