Transformational Leadership

On July 11-13, Genetic Alliance will hold its 2008 Annual Conference at the Bethesda North Marriott in Bethesda, Maryland. Like last year's conference, which was attended by more than 200 advocates, health professionals, policymakers, industry professionals, and community leaders, the 2008 conference will provide an outstanding opportunity to participate in cutting-edge workshops and insightful discussions.

The conference kicks off with four concurrent daylong symposia — Leadership, Organizations, Policy, and Research.

Saturday and Sunday will be organized around workshop and panel discussions centered on cutting edge topics of international significance. Conference topics will cover issues such as clinical research, delivery of services, education and information, family health history, health disparities, health information technology, and newborn screening.

Throughout the conference, participants will have ample opportunity during long meals and breaks to network and socialize. Saturday evening will feature our signature awards banquet celebrating outstanding individuals and organizations in advocacy, reporting, industry, and healthcare. The conference ends on July 13 following panel discussions and a dynamic concluding keynote address.
