Looking back at the EHC Virtual Leadership Conference 2021, you will remember that one of the recurring themes in the discussion was about the ways to include all the bleeding disorders in the conversation. The EHC invites you to continue this discussion through the three sessions of the EHC Leadership Academy 2021 – how to truly integrate all people with the bleeding disorders in the work of the NMOs? How to make this integration real, at every stage?
All the NMO volunteers and staff are invited to take part in the sessions of the Leadership Academy! Whether you did take part in the Leadership Conference or not; whether you can participate in all or just one session – every contribution, opinion, idea and thought matters! We look forward to seeing you at the Academy!
