The FPMA eAdvocacy website provides a variety of information about the Florida Legislature, Governor, and state administrative agencies as well as Federal Congressional updates concerning the podiatric profession. It also contains basic information on how to engage policymakers. The eAdvocacy website is provided courtesy of the American Podiatric Medical Association.
