It is the imperative

of business to create

and nurture something

of value and no

business is sustainable

if it cannot do that.

No matter the focus of

your business there are

corollary nonprofits

for which employees’

skills and resources

can be put to good

use. An employee’s

contribution to a not

for profit will be

accretive at both

places. What business

would not benefit from

the eradication of MS

and which employee

would not benefit from

participation in the

process?

We are of the opinion

that you can do well by

doing good.

– William P. Reddick,

Chief Financial Officer,

Celtaxsys

A letter from the Chairman of the Board

Congratulations to you for successfully completing the 2011 MS Leadership Class.

Since 2009, the MS Leadership Class has served as a platform for men and women to display their passion and their desire to excel in their personal commitments and to share their success in business with the MS community. I trust your experience was worthwhile and rewarding and that it will serve to enhance your executive leadership adventure.

Your generous gift of time, talent and treasure to the National MS Society will have a long-lasting impact on the lives of people with MS. Because of you and many others who support our mission, we continue to better understand the scientific mechanisms that lead to disease progression in MS so that we can stop, restore and end MS forever.

Your selfless commitment and your extraordinary contributions will inspire meaningful partnerships in the research community in order to connect ideas and vital resources to accelerate the development of new therapies for MS. Most importantly, you are helping our organization change lives in ways that reflect a quality consistent with good health and wellness.

Your active participation gave you an opportunity to network and take vital interest in our goals and objectives through interactive work groups. You’ve seen and heard first-hand the challenges and hardships that people with MS face. You’ve heard what it takes to inspire and motivate a superior, loyal staff using proven leadership skills. And you’ve unlocked some creativity within you that you did not know you had, such as raising funds.

I join the volunteers and staff in urging you to continue to emphasize the social responsi-bility that compels you to influence the world around you and to stay involved with the National MS Society beyond your accomplishments in the Class of 2011.

Lastly, I hope you will continue to make giving a priority, promoting a value system grounded on respect for others and a strong belief in self-worth. In a time when it is so easy to be self-absorbed, you have demonstrated the essential values of leadership: honesty, integrity, confidence, and compassion. It is remarkable.

Sincerely,

Greg MichelsChairman of the BoardNational MS Society, Georgia ChapterMS Leadership Class ‘09 Alumnus
