NAIMES Offers Grassroots Support

The National Association of
Independent Medical Equipment Suppliers, Halifax, Va., said it
is offering its 2009 Grassroots Legislative Support Program to all
NAIMES and state association members at no cost. The program
includes congressional staff updates, legislators’ town hall
meeting information and a “Congress tracker” that tracks activity
for all members of Congress. “We have already started tracking the
political landscape for the 2010 mid-term election when 36 Senate
seats and all of the House seats will again be contested,” a NAIMES
release said. In addition, the association said it can help with
scheduling congressional meetings and provide media relations
assistance.

“The purpose of our program is to assist and improve grassroots
efforts in support of the DME industry, and to engage more people
in the cause,” the association said. “NAIMES feels strongly that
the power of the industry is at the state level … We
encourage the industry to create an open dialogue to bring more
‘Warrior’s for DME’ onto the playing field.”
