Advocacy Event

Be Active. Be Heard. Make a Difference.

IFFGD's 2020 Virtual Advocacy Event provided advocate training materials to assist advocates as they contact Congress virtually. You can continue to use these materials as you advocate legislative priorities that will enhance research and improve treatment options for the digestive health community.
