| 200th Anniversary/Happy New Year Card | |
|
Happy New Year! It has such a nice ring to it, and NAM has been looking forward to this year for a long time. The Medical Foundation of Nashville and the Nashville Academy of Medicine created a special card to commemorate this new year, and we wanted to share a virtual copy with you.
In appreciation, we've listed members and partners who donated to the Medical Foundation of Nashville in our 2020 year-end campaign inside the card. Thank you all for celebrating with us!

| Day on the Hill: Wednesday, March 3 | |
|
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, March 3, when NAM and TMA will partner for our annual policy briefing and lobby day via Zoom teleconferencing. This year, the General Assembly has declined large, in-person group lobbying events, so NAM members and other doctors around the state will visit with lawmakers via online breakout discussions from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. CST.
While the online format is new this year, its overall concept and inner workings remain the same. Invitations have been extended to all 133 legislators, with dozens of physicians expected to attend online to address healthcare-related issues.
Register here!

Guests will receive a Zoom link, password and login information via email after they have registered. For more information, NAM members can contact Rebecca Leslie at rleslie@nashvillemedicine.org.

As you are preparing your 2020 taxes, federal tax law allows you to deduct a percentage of professional dues as a regular business expense. The deductible amount is the percentage of the annual dues that is not used for lobbying activities.
