PHI Board Members & Committees
Post-Polio Health International is governed by a Board of Directors and has a paid staff of two. Accounting, design and editorial services are provided by independent contractors.
Honorary Board Members are recognized for their contributions and loyalty to PHI and to the disability community at large. (These members do not have voting privileges and are not entitled to participate in meetings or other activities of the directors.)
The Medical Advisory Committee is composed of open-minded health care professionals who are experts in their field and who support PHI's philosophy about independent living. Members must be knowledgeable about the late effects of polio and demonstrate the ability to think analytically and strategically in advising PHI on medical matters. The chair will be a Board member and is responsible for communications between the committee and the Board. The committee composition will represent health care professionals in diverse areas of specialization (e.g., physiatry, pulmonology, occupational therapy) and a balance of backgrounds (e.g., geographic, cultural, gender)
The Consumer Advisory Committee is composed of individuals with physical disabilities who support PHI's philosophy about independent living. Members have a professional or personal background in disability advocacy and assist PHI in analyzing disability issues.
