Bias joined the National Hemophilia Foundation as Chief Executive Officer in May 2008 after the board searched for candidates that exemplified quality leadership in the bleeding and clotting disorders community. Mr. Bias is also the first African-American to serve as CEO in NHF's 50 year history.

A long history with NHF proves that Bias is a trusted leader, diplomatic manager and committed participant in the bleeding and clotting disorders community. For more than 28 years, he has served NHF as a volunteer, consultant, advocate and board chair in 1992.

In his position as CEO, Bias was immediately tasked with advancing a nationwide reorganization of the Foundation and the strategic positioning of the organization. Bias also promised to increase efforts on research and advocacy while using education as a key component.

Bias will be leading the NHF's 60th annual meeting in Denver, Colorado on November 13-15, 2008. The meeting is the largest in the country bringing together individuals and their families living with bleeding and clotting disorders -- healthcare providers -- community leaders and industry representatives.
