How do I invite the Secretary of HHS to our conference, event or meeting?

Answer:

All invitations for the Secretary’s time for conferences, events, or meetings must come in writing. Requests must be faxed to (202) 690-7203.

You can help us process your request by providing as much information as possible in your invitation. For all requests, please include:

• Name
• Mailing address
• Phone and fax numbers for the event contact person
• Specific topic of the meeting
• Who will attend to the meeting
• Dates for the meeting
• Any other information about the meeting that may be helpful to us.

For conferences or events, please include the following details in your request:

• Date
• Time
• Location of the event
• Topic you would like the Secretary’s speech to address
• Whether members of the press or media will attend
• number of people you expect will attend the conference or event

A letter confirming receipt of your request will be mailed to you. We will confirm or decline requests for the Secretary’s attendance at a conference or event approximately 1 month prior to the date of the event.
