Join us for the 2013 Annual Meeting on Thursday, December 5 in Philadelphia. Come together with your local MS community to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and key volunteers in the MS movement. Hear about the latest news in MS treatments and research and what's on the horizon. Find out what your local chapter is doing to help people living with MS.

Agenda:

  • 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. - Resource Fair
        
    Meet local service providers and National MS Society staff to discuss how we can help you address some of the everyday challenges of living with MS.
        
  • 6:30 to 9 p.m. - Dinner and presentations
      
    Join us for a series of presentations, including a research update from Brenda L. Banwell, MD. Dr. Banwell is the Chief of Neurology and Director of the Pediatric Multiple Sclerosis Clinic at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and Professor of Neurology at the University of Pennsylvania. Her research focuses on MS and other acquired demyelinating diseases.

    Our featured speaker this year is Rain Pryor, daughter of the late comedian Richard Pryor. Rain wears many hats (actress, singer, writer, producer and comedian) but perhaps the one closest to her heart is educator and advocate for MS. She is determined to find a cure for MS after her father lived with the disease for nearly 30 years. Don't miss this opportunity to hear about her experience having a loved one living with MS and why she is a passionate member of the MS movement.
