State Champions Working Group (CHAMPWG) AAPM Members, Affiliates and Non-Member Affiliates - Login for access to additional information Activities Members of this working group will form AAPM’s grass-roots advocacy effort to advance positive public policy, regulations, and legislation for medical physics. CHAMPWG will receive direction and support from CHAMPSC, GRAC, and the AAPM Government Relations Manager.   The goal for the working group is to better address state regulatory and legislative issues across the fifty states. There may be occasions when the network supports federal advocacy efforts. Activities for CHAMPWG members may include: Inform GRAC and AAPM about any regulatory or legislative development that might have a potential impact on the practice of medical physics. Engage and network with all relevant stakeholders (AAPM members, Chapters, GRAC, and other societies when applicable) to mobilize members to support or not support state legislation and regulations that might impact healthcare. Engage with elected officials and their staff in support of medical physicists’ activities and provide testimony at Committee, House, or Senate hearings. Call, message, or tweet their elected officials using the VoterVOICE advocacy program. Help introduce new state legislation or petition for rulemaking changes that would benefit the practice of medical physics for the state. Support or interface with state advisory boards (when applicable).   By-Laws: Not Referenced.Rules: Not Referenced. Standing? This is not a standing committee.
