Highights from the
National MS Society
2011 National Conference
Last week we joined together in Dallas — over 700 fundraisers, donors, advocates, team captains, researchers, volunteer leaders, clinicians, and Society staff — on the front lines of the MS movement. Over the three days we shared stories and experiences, learned from and inspired one another, and celebrated the past year's progress. Below are links to conference photographs and to videos of the general sessions.
