Advocating on Beacon Hill
The MDS Government Affairs Committee hosts a Beacon Hill Day biannually to give MDS members the opportunity to meet with legislators at the Massachusetts State House to discuss current oral health legislation.
Beacon Hill Day 2027
TBD
Due to scheduling conflicts at the Massachusetts State House, Beacon Hill Day 2027 will no longer take place on April 14, 2027, as previously announced.
The Massachusetts Dental Society is currently working to secure a new date in May 2027.
We appreciate your flexibility and understanding, and will share the new date and additional event details as soon as they become available.
Future Beacon Hill Days
MDS Beacon Hill Day takes place in the first year of the two-year legislative calendar (ex. 2027, 2029, 2031). However, even with this alternating-year plan, the MDS Government Affairs Committee will continue to work year-round to advocate at the State House and keep members informed.
