Congratulations to the MS Leadership Class of 2010 Congratulations to you for successfully completing the MS Leadership Class of 2010. We never cease to be amazed at the generosity of individuals helping our organization make quantum changes. Indeed your kind and compassionate gifts to the National MS Society will be long-lasting. Your outstanding fundraising efforts will support vital research through the National MS Society’s Promise 2010 Campaign, a nationwide effort to raise at least $35 million for targeted areas of research and patient care that hold great potential. It is our desire that you 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 upheld the essential values of leadership: honesty, integrity, confidence, and compassion. It is noteworthy. As we organize our efforts for a world free of MS, it is our motivating desire to highlight and underscore your focus on personal commitment and emphasize the social responsibility that compels you to integrate your passion and desire for a better world. It is, therefore, our hope that you will openly welcome future opportunities to support our mission. Our best to you as you continue to expand your leadership role in the community.
Sincerely, Cindy Nofi Private Wealth Advisor U.S. Trust, Bank of America Co-Chair, MS Leadership Class of 2010
