2008 Symposium Theme Selected

This November you will have an opportunity to make a difference and a statement concerning your life, the life of your spouse or child or the life of a significant other who is living with epilepsy. This opportunity will not cause you to stand in a long line, provide proof of who you are, or deal with a confusing computer screen.

The 2008 Epilepsy, Speak Up, Speak Out, will focus on advocacy, and the many ways that you and your loved ones can become effective Epilepsy Advocates. We’ll provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to deal with legal, educational, governmental or employment related issues that may arise with epilepsy. One workshop you definitely don’t want to miss will be Medical Advocacy, which will explore ways you can become a more informed patient advocate in dealing with your physician or pharmacist. The Symposium will close with a variety of “town hall” discussions to allow interaction with your fellow attendees.

On this issue there is no debate… your quality of life will be improved by attending the Epilepsy Symposium 2008! Please circle November 1 on your calendar for this informative event. Full details on registration and the agenda will be released as the event draws closer.
