Overview Topical Agenda Detailed Agenda Convening Panel Register

As we prepare for the 2014 State of Reform Conference in Washington State – now our fourth year hosting the event in SeaTac – we are honored to list the following individuals and organizations on this year’s Convening Panel.

The previous three years had a good mix of perspectives on our Convening Panel, and this year is no different. Some members have been with us since the beginning. Some are new this year. In every instance, however, their participation is a signal of their commitment to collaboration and conversation around the most challenging health policy issues of our day.
