Held on February 24th in Atlanta, the event was organized and executed by GAAA in conjunction with their management company Cornerstone Communications as a time to meet state legislators and to educate them on the AA profession.
Over 100 AA fellows and students attended from across the state to experience the political process in action.
Prior to arriving that Monday morning, members of the delegation had contacted their legislators to invite them to a grab-and-go breakfast and to inform them that they would be at the capitol and would enjoy the opportunity to meet. The early breakfast provided a friendly forum that enabled fellows to talk one on one with many members of both the House and Senate. The legislators were interested in the talking points and were appreciative of the information concerning the long history of AAs providing quality anesthesia in Georgia.
One of the highlights of the day was the reading of a special Resolution on the floor of the State Senate. Georgia State Senator Chuck Hufstetler, AA-C, arranged for a visit to the floor during session and sponsored a proclamation that was read to the entire governing body declaring that February 24, 2014, was officially AA Day in the great state of Georgia. GAAA leaders were invited to stand on the platform facing the chamber while the Resolution was read, and president Joy Rusmisell was afforded the opportunity to address the Senators, their staff, and the members of the galley to officially accept the Resolution.

Members of the delegation also visited with their representatives while the bodies were in session by meeting them "behind the line" for photos and conversation about AA practice and issues. The legislators were especially receptive to the young, bright faces of the students from both Emory and South University and were eager to learn about their education experiences. They also listened attentively as fellows spoke of the profession and the quality patient care provided as part of the Anesthesia Care Team.
Healthcare delivery is ever-changing, and we must be proactive in places like the legislature and the Medical Board where policy decisions are made. The fellows and students who attended AA Day came away with valuable insight into the art of forging and maintaining positive working relationships with our elected officials so that when the time comes to protect our interests, we have the relationships in place to secure this great profession. GAAA would like to extend sincere thanks to Senator Hufstetler, Mr. Jet Toney and his entire group at Cornerstone, and to the AA Programs at Emory and South for all their work and support to make AA Day such a success.
