2012 Annual Meeting and Educational Conference
"Moving Forward Together"
Saturday, October 27, 2012
Held simultaneously in Raleigh, NC; Charlotte, NC; and Columbia, SC
This fall we celebrate the successes from our first year together. We hope that through the educational breakout sessions, keynote presentations, interactions with other participants and contact with community resources, you will use this momentum to become better educated about the disease and cope more positively with the day-to-day challenges it can bring.
The Annual Meeting was held to elect a Board of Trustees, consider the Annual Report and conduct any other chapter business.
