I chose to get involved with AAN advocacy because the AAN actively engages with policymakers to improve our practices. I saw that the AAN was working to increase the research funding for neurosciences, advocating for better access for patients with neurological disease, and working to reduce the regulatory burdens on practicing neurologists. I became involved because these efforts need every one of us to work together to affect change for unique burdens faced by patients with neurological disease. In this period of change, get involved in advocacy to ensure neurology is valued in the future. I encourage you to visit Advocacy to Action to learn how you can fight for neurology. — Nicholas E. Johnson, MD, Chair, AAN Government Relations Committee
