It's Time to Renew Your PHA Membership

It's that time of year when the Parent Hospital Association members are reminded to renew their membership -- and new members are encouraged to join.

YOUR MEMBERSHIP IS IMPORTANT!

• The size of an organization is measured by the number of members.
• A large organization has more clout when delegates meet with legislators in Sacramento and Washington, DC.

So, it’s important that you renew your membership and send in your dues now. Encourage all your family members to renew their membership also as this will increase the number of members; encourage relatives and friends to become members of PHA as well. All of this will help to increase our membership, which is so important at this time, and strengthens our influence when we advocate for our developmentally disabled loved ones with legislators. 

PHA assists family members who request help with IPP meetings and with those needing help obtaining conservatorships of their loved ones.  Please join us for 2013.
