Advocacy

Is Epilepsy Important to You?

Become a member of the Epilepsy Foundation of Central & South Texas Public Policy Network.

The Epilepsy Foundation of Central & South Texas believes there is a critical need to develop a strong, organized epilepsy advocacy network in our state. Such a group would help to protect the rights of people with epilepsy and seizure disorders. The group would also work to ensure that their concerns are fully considered by those formulating public policy and legislation.

The goal of the network is to educate legislators and other officials about the needs of persons with epilepsy, and to ensure that those who make the decisions do so with these needs in mind.

Members Needed!

Members of the Public Policy Network will have a voice in shaping the Foundation's public policy goals and will be directly involved in assuring that these goals are met. Network activities may include:

• Writing letters and making phone calls

• Testifying at public hearings
• Meeting with legislators and congressmen
• Acting as a volunteer "telephone captain" within your district

Requirements to joining the network:
