Building a Healthier Future Summit

Posted by on February 17, 2014

The Building a Healthier Future Summit – one of the premiere gatherings of leaders working to end childhood obesity – provides a unique opportunity for business and industry leaders to sit with their nonprofit, academic and government counterparts and address this paramount issue. The Summit is about action, not talk. It’s about bringing leaders together in ways that will create new opportunities and walking away with tangible, actionable solutions that will help to make the healthy choice the easy choice.

Join us, as well as leaders from across the spectrum, on March 12-14, 2014, to focus on the change you can make and examine what you can do to help ensure the health of our nation’s youth.

The Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) is devoted to working with the private sector to ensure the health of our nation’s youth by solving the childhood obesity crisis. PHA brings together public, private and nonprofit leaders to broker meaningful commitments and develop strategies to end childhood obesity. Most importantly, PHA ensures that commitments made are commitments kept by working with unbiased, third parties to monitor and publicly report on the progress our partners are making to show everyone what can be achieved when we all work together.

Founded in 2010 in conjunction with – but independent from – Let’s Move!, PHA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit that is led by some of the nation’s most respected health and childhood obesity advocates. Supporting our effort is our honorary chair First Lady Michelle Obama, alongside our honorary vice-chairmen The Honorable William H. Frist, MD, and US Senator Cory A. Booker (D-NJ). Our board of directors also includes nationally recognized business leaders, advocates, health professionals and thought leaders from a variety of backgrounds.
