Advocacy
How We Engage
Our journey has been anything but ordinary. Through every step, we've focused on staying true to our values and making space for thoughtful, lasting work.
What began as a passion project has evolved into something more. We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more excited for what’s ahead. What sets us apart isn’t just our process—it’s the intention behind it. We take time to understand, explore, and create with purpose at every turn.
Regulatory Engagement
Much of the Association’s work occurs through regulatory engagement rather than legislation. We participate in public comment, stakeholder discussions, and rulemaking processes to support clear, consistent, and enforceable standards that protect the public and support professional practice.
Collaboration/Stakeholder Input
The Association engages constructively with educators, clinics, allied healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders to support informed decision-making and collaborative solutions. Differences in licensure and regulatory pathways are recognized and respected as part of this process.
Why Advocacy Matters
Clear, informed engagement between professionals and policymakers helps ensure that acupuncture regulation supports public safety, access to care, and a competent, sustainable professional workforce.
