The Party of Medicine is an award-winning peer-to-peer education and recruiting tool set in a social gathering.
Audience: Physicians AND spouses

Goals:
Educate about importance of medical advocacy
What advocacy is, why it is important
Legislation that occurred last session and how it affects them
How state PAC worked and dispel myths
Increase membership for state PAC
Increase participation in Alliance led advocacy events
Membership
Use advocacy as a method of recruiting new Alliance and Society members
Use advocacy to dispel myths of what Alliance is…
We are more than ladies who lunch
Show the value of membership
Strengthen the Society/Alliance bond
How we made it happen:
Personally invited our friends
Provided food and drinks
Set the Stage with signs scattered about the area about advocacy
Social hour for 45 minutes then the presentation
Shared our WHY of why we advocate
David Letterman style countdown of Top Ten Reasons to Join
Wrap up with a specific ask
How did it work for us?
95% of participants joined TexPac…$10k raised in memberships
New members for both the Alliance and the Society
Alliance members that now participate in regular and advocacy events
A change in attitude for some about what the Alliance is
How can it work for you?
Try it…You have nothing to lose and I am here to help!
It is easily adaptable to your county or state
It is low/no cost….just printing for signage and snacks.
It promotes the value of belonging to the Alliance.
