2009 NAMI National Convention Coverage
Creating a Healthy Future for Us All
Day 4: July 9, 2009
Day four brought the 2009 NAMI National Convention to a close.
We heard from NAMI National Board President Anand Pandya, M.D., who gave the State of NAMI address. In addition, a banquet fit for a King closed the convention with awards, speeches and more.
Here are a few photos that captured the moments as NAMI leaders, members and support staff converged on San Francisco.
