Will There Be Other Opportunities For Individuals In The Community To Participate In The Work Of ATHN?

Earlier this year, ATHN issued a call for volunteers to serve on three key committees:  Community Relations and Communications; Privacy, Data Access and Security; and the Technology Committee.  Individuals with bleeding and clotting disorders and their family members as well as providers within the Hemophilia Treatment Center Network were encouraged to recommend qualified individuals and to submit written application through the ATHN website.  As a result of this effort and application process, twelve “first time” ATHN committee members were added in 2007.  A similar call for volunteers will occur in the fall of this year.
