ISMA wrapped up another season of Pints and Politics with five locations- Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, South Bend and Bloomington. Nearly 20 legislators and 100 physicians took part in the legislative preseason with the ISMA leadership team.
“Thank you to those that attended Pints and Politics this season,” Vice President of Government Affairs Savannah Neary said. “It was a great event to connect many of you with your local legislators. Plus, it was great to meet some of you for the first time! I look forward to the great advocacy work we achieve!”
If you missed the event but want to connect with your legislator, the Indiana General Assembly’s
Legislative Lookup will help identify your state and congressional legislators. Also, don’t forget to vote in the primary on Tuesday, Nov. 3. The
2026 Indiana Election Calendar provides insight into upcoming events. ISMA’s
Physician Advocacy Leadership Training Program is an opportunity to fine tune the advocacy skills needed for session. Join us on Tuesday, Feb. 9 for Physician Advocacy Day or become the
Physician of the Day at the Statehouse in January and March 2027.
