The Resident Component Governing Council has organized a series of lectures and forums during the Annual Meeting that will provide residents with an opportunity to explore political, educational and career issues.
All residents are welcome to take an active role at the meeting.
Activities begin Friday evening, October 8, with a seminar on lobbying and political activities sponsored by the ASA Washington Office. Here, residents can learn skills that will enable them to influence future legislation. This will be followed by an informal reception, where residents will be able to meet their peers from around the country. With representatives from most of the nation's training programs present, this year's House of Delegates is set to debate a variety of topics in Dallas. The House serves as the policy-forming mechanism for the Resident Component, and delegates are encouraged to submit resolutions to it.
