Advocacy Day 2025
February 5, 2025 | Policy
Thank you to all who participated in our first-ever Ombuds Advocacy Day in Olympia!
.
We’ve received lots of great feedback and words of thanks from participants. The real “thanks” goes to all of you for your amazing extra effort to travel to Olympia, and speaking with legislators and their staff about your concerns, and the LTCOP platform. We couldn’t have been as successful in this event if it weren’t for all of you! Your dedication and advocacy made a real impact as you spoke with legislators and championed the issues that matter most. Your voices and efforts are instrumental in driving meaningful change. With deep appreciation to our Local host agencies, Certified Long-Term Care Ombuds, Regional Ombuds, Advocates and Partners, Residents and Resident families!!
