NSP FCT Advocacy Network

The majority of crucial communication with the Legislature occurs early in the lawmaking process and involves contacts with your hometown legislators and with House and Senate leadership; particularly with key committee members.

What is the Key Contact Program?
A Key Contact Program is a grassroots-lobbying network of physiotherapist that serve as the primary contacts with their legislators.  The purpose of this program is to establish valuable relationships with our legislators in order to gain an increased awareness of the physiotherapy profession.  We use this friendship to keep the Legislature aware of the issues that affect physiotherapy on a daily basis and those that are long term.

Who are the Key Contacts?
The person selected to be a NSP FCT Key Contact should:

• Be an NSP member
• Preferably live in their assigned legislator’s district;
• Have an interest and be willing to get involved in government affairs;
• Be willing to be a spokesperson for physiotherapy; and
• Be willing to participate in education events on effective lobbying

What is a Key Contact responsible for?

• Establishing and maintaining contact with their legislator(s) and staff; and
• Relaying information of concern to physiotherapist and the practice of physiotherapy to their legislator.

Our goal is to have a NSP FCT Key Contact for every member of the house of Assembly and Senate..
