This session highlights the efforts of CMSA, the Public Policy Committee (PPC), and the Multi-State Licensure (MSL) Task Force to increase awareness for supporting the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC). At each state level, MSL would enhance the public’s protection by simplifying governmental processes and removing regulatory barriers to increase the mobility of the nurse case managers’ workforce across state lines. This didactic session will provide you with tools essential for ensuring political involvement within your state. Bring this information to your Chapter PPC and educate your policy makers why this issue is so important for case management practice. The presenters will demonstrate how to employ effective lobbying strategies, and give you tips on how to get the word out to decision makers. You will leave this session informed, invigorated, and ready to take political action!

  1. Define Multi-State Licensure (MSL) and how it affects case management practice.
  2. Identify 3 strategies CMSA has developed to promote enactment of the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) for all states.
