Thank you Senators and NPA members who joined us for breakfast yesterday in Lincoln! We appreciate the opportunity to advocate for psychologists and behavioral health in Nebraska through direct, informal conversation with our representatives in the Nebraska Legislature. Pictured above are NPA members who drove from western Nebraska for the event and then went to the Capitol to visit the offices of senators who were unable to join us for breakfast. NPA member advocacy is important and very much appreciated! See more pictures HERE.
