PROGRAM GUIDELINES
PHA is an organization empowered by hope. Our efforts are advanced by the willingness of those in our community to share their talents and ideas.
Through this program, PHA seeks to create new opportunities for those in the PH community to try out new ideas that hold the promise of more rapidly advancing our common cause. Ideas might include, but are not limited to, increased public awareness, education, resource development, advocacy or other initiatives bringing common benefit.
