ADEA CPPA
The ADEA Center for Public Policy and Advocacy ADEA CPPA) is a collaborative partner in ADEA's Institute for Policy and Advocacy with ADEA's Centers for Equity and Diversity and Educational Policy and Research. ADEA CPPA focuses on legislative priorities approved by the ADEA Board of Directors that include securing federal funding for dental education and training and other oral health programs. ADEA CPPA advocates for federal student loans, loan repayment and scholarship programs, and for access to oral health services, particularly for those who are medically compromised, indigent, and for children and adults covered under Medicaid or the State Children's Health Insurance programs (SCHIP). ADEA CPPA publishes the ADEA Washington Update and makes contributions to the Bulletin of Dental Education Online (BDE) and the Journal of Dental Education (JDE).
ADEA LAC
The ADEA Legislative Advisory Committee (ADEA LAC) provides advice and counsel on public policy and legislative priorities. It leads in the development and implementation of a national advocacy network to create a powerful and united advocacy voice to address the nation's oral health problems as they relate to dental and allied dental educator and institutions.
ADEA Advocacy Events
ADEA Advocacy Events are organized through the year by ADEA CPPA to give strength to these advocacy outreach efforts.
