The Society for Vascular Surgery’s (SVS) Advocacy team is thrilled to announce the inaugural Leadership and Advocacy Conference, set to take place Sept. 14–16, 2025, in Washington, D.C. The event is designed to bring together passionate vascular surgeons nationwide to engage in meaningful dialogue, share insights and collaborate on an advocacy agenda designed to protect and promote the future of vascular surgery.
With its rich history and political significance, Washington, D.C., provides the perfect setting for the SVS’ collective mission to advance vascular health advocacy. From exploring effective leadership qualities to discussing strategies for effective lobbying, every session will be meticulously designed to inspire and empower.
Mark your calendars to participate in this transformative experience that will enhance your leadership skills and amplify your voice in vascular advocacy. Over the course of three days, attendees will have the unique opportunity to participate in a series of dynamic workshops, keynote presentations, and panel discussions. Additionally, attendees can visit Capitol Hill and directly engage with lawmakers and their staff. The conference promises to equip both seasoned advocates and those new to advocacy with the tools and knowledge necessary to serve as a champion for the field of vascular surgery and its patients.
“Surgeon involvement in managing change and solving the challenges of our health care system has never been more important. I am incredibly excited that the SVS is working to position vascular surgeons at the forefront, building knowledge and skills within our ranks, leveraging the expertise we have, and bringing it all to Congress’s doorstep,” said SVS Advocacy & Policy Council Chair Megan Tracci, MD, JD.
