Greetings all. I hope you are enjoying as much as I, the sense that the season is beginning to change.  And what better time to meet, than a moment when we can feel change is in the air. In the 2008 legislative session, Representative Jeanne Labuda will once again be sponsoring legislation to regulate the Naturopathic profession in Colorado. I have personally met with some of you over the summer, and have exchanged emails with others of you over the past year. I have learned something from each of these interactions. Now it is time for others to be part of this dialogue.  The Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, has generously offered to hold a meeting at their location with those of you who expressed concerns regarding HB 1192, the bill to regulate the Naturopathic Profession, that was introduced in the 2007 legislative session. This will be an opportunity to have your concerns heard by those who actually regulate all the licensed health care professions in the state of Colorado.  This will be a chance for those who draft the language of potential legislation, to be aware of the various issues that are a concern to you.  This may be a chance to figure something out that could work for many. The outcome of this meeting will be included in the Sunrise Review of Naturopathic Profession in Colorado.  Legislators will utilize the information in this Sunrise Review created by D.O.R.A. to help them with decisions they need to make in regard to any proposed legislation to regulate a profession. Your input is highly valued, and necessary to find a political compromise, that will be inclusive of the many needs of many different concerned parties. Please forward this email on to other practitioners you may think should be included in this discussion. Your RSVP’s will be appreciated. I will be attending, and do hope to see many of you on October 4th. Sincerely, Rena Bloom NDLegislative ChairColorado Association of Naturopathic Physicianswww.coanp.org303-337-4884   Sent: Thursday, September 06, 2007 11:12 AM
