FIRST INTERNATIONAL LEADERS’ SUMMIT
June 24, 2010



PHA’s International PH Conferences offer educational programs for patients, caregivers and medical professionals. As the international PH community has grown, our community saw the need to bring together PH association leaders from around the world. At the 2010 Conference, PHA held the first ever International Leaders’ Summit which allowed leaders to network with one another and share advice on how to build and strengthen a PH organization.
