Capitol Day - More Information and Interest Form

Every year, CODHA brings dental hygienists, students, and oral health advocates to the Colorado State Capitol to elevate our profession’s voice. Capitol Day is an energizing, hands-on experience where you can learn about the legislative process and speak directly with lawmakers about the issues shaping dental hygiene practice in Colorado.

Pre-Capitol Day Orientation

Before Capitol Day, CODHA will host a brief virtual orientation to help attendees feel prepared and confident.
This session will provide:

• A quick overview of the legislative process

• CODHA’s current policy priorities

• Key talking points and day-of logistics

Date and time will be posted on the CODHA Event Calendar.
