It’s good to have friends, but in Congress, it’s better to have champions. 

Cultivating new compounding champions is the purpose of three upcoming events at Compounders on Capitol Hill, September 19-20, including:

• A CompPAC Fundraising Reception with special guest Senator Ben Ray Luján (D) of New Mexico on the afternoon September 19. Tip: You don’t have to be present to lend your support. Give to CompPAC here. And support Senator Luján here (be sure to indicate you’re a pharmacy compounder). 
• Dinner for House Energy & Commerce Committee member Richard Hudson (R-NC) on the evening of September 19. Remember, E&C is where the majority of compounding legislation is assigned. You can attend that by registering here.
• Remarks by House Energy & Commerce Committee member Diana DeGette (D-CO) at breakfast on September 20. Support Congresswoman DeGette here.

Please help us cultivate new compounding champions by supporting these events – either attending in person or contributing from afar.
