Lobby Day on March 27, 2023
CAFP's annual All Member Advocacy Meeting (AMAM) is your chance to make change in health care policy! At the AMAM, you’ll hear from policy and political experts, get hands on experience advocating for issues important to family medicine, network with advocacy-oriented colleagues, and meet with your legislators! From improving public health to increasing primary care payment, learn how YOU can be the change you want to see in the health care policy world.
AMAM 2023 will focus on health equity, to address two of CAFP’s strategic plan goals - system transformation and prioritizing justice through equity, diversity, and inclusion. In addition to many sessions you’ve come to know and love, we will offer a fresh slate of inspiring speakers and entirely new sessions you won’t want to miss, such as Evaluating Policy with an Equity Lens.
Registration for California Academy of Family Physicians’ All Member Advocacy Meeting (AMAM) will be opening soon. AMAM is one of CAFP’s most popular events. The 2023 All Member Advocacy Meeting will be in Sacramento on Saturday and Sunday, March 25-26, 2023 with Lobby Day on Monday, March 27, 2023.
We're pleased to offer CAFP members a financial assistance waiver to attend the 2023 AMAM on March 25-26th. In order for CAFP to assist with this request, please complete the request form. If your request is approved, you will receive a discount code for registration.

*Thank you to the session support of these local chapters!
All local chapters receive a representative number of delegates and alternate delegates to AMAM. Delegates vote for new CAFP officers, and on changes to CAFP bylaws and dues. Let your chapter leader know very soon if you are interested in serving, as the deadline for finalizing delegations is also Monday, January 23.
Are you a member of a chapter without current leadership or not sure how to get ahold of your local chapter leader? Email your interest to cafp@familydocs.org and we will help coordinate with your district director.
