Save the Date: 2014 Dentists at the Capitol Lobby Day  
Colorado State Capitol Building, 200 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, CO 80203-1776

Your participation in the upcoming Lobby Day is vital. In 2014, the laws that govern the practice of dentistry will undergo a complete review and rewrite by the state legislature. This "Sunset Review" process can dramatically impact dentists through changes to state board composition, scope of practice allowances, practice ownership requirements, educational requirements and more.

To RSVP or for more information, contact CDA Policy Coordinator Shannon Fender at shannon@cdaonline.org or 303-996-2848.
