MemBership Information
Membership on the Steering Committee offers a seat at the table in determining all Coalition policy and significant decisions (which are determined by consensus). Steering Committee Members are invited to participate in regular monthly calls and populate our task force work groups.
As part of the Coalition, Steering Committee members are often invited to participate in policy meetings and briefing with Administration officials and Members of Congress as issues warrant. Further, Steering Committee Members receive frequent email updates regarding Coalition activities, CME policy developments, and news reports related to CME. Members also have direct access to Coalition staff, which is housed at the Washington-based health policy firm of Thorn Run Partners, who are at their disposal for individualized regulatory and compliance counsel.
The CME Coalition also produces a continuous stream of useful materials for CME practitioners for use by its members, such as regularly updated Sunshine Act Compliance Guides, legal memoranda, FAQs, comments to CMS and ACCME, voluntary industry codes of conduct and press statements on CME related issues. As part of its role as the voice of CME, the CME Coalition is an oft-cited resource in both the trade and “Beltway” media on pressing issues of the day.
In addition to supporting the Coalition's extensive advocacy efforts with Washington policymakers and the broader health care provider community, many members also find considerable value in receiving Thorn Run Partners’ regularized health policy updates and analysis, which is provided as an additional benefit.
With a reasonable rate structure that strives to attract both corporate and non-profit members to our Steering Committee, we are confident that our members enjoy significant benefits of membership and see a real return on their commitment. If you are interested in learning more about membership, please contact the Coalition’s Executive Director Chris Lamond ([email protected]) or Senior Advisor Andy Rosenberg ([email protected]), who can provide additional information on the next steps to secure your membership.
