ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING & BOARD ELECTIONS
Saturday, June 12th, 2010
Marriott Hotel
90 Bloor Street East, just East of Yonge St. (right beside “The Bay”), Toronto
Memberships available from 12:00 Noon, the Meeting starts at 1:00 p.m.
Membership is free for MSers, $10 for all others.
Please show up and join the Liberation.
Janet Heisey (primary proxy holder)
Is a Toronto resident and mother of three teenagers. Janet is a long time member of the MS Society and was diagnosed with MS 29 years ago. She is actively seeking the MS Liberation treatment and expects to have to go outside Canada to get it.
Brian Light (back-up proxy holder)
Brian has had Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis symptoms for 12 years. His disease has advanced to the point where he is unable to work due to pain and fatigue and now uses a wheelchair. Before the progression of his MS, Brian was a successful magazine publisher for several decades. Brian underwent stem cell infusion in April of 2009 which provided some short-term relief. In January of this year, Brian had a CCSVI procedure which seems to have arrested the progress of his disease. Brian has three adult children and lives in Toronto with his wife of 26 years.
Linda Molyneux (Nominee for MS Society Board)
Linda Molyneux is the mother of four grown children. Two years ago, her 22-year old son was diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting MS. She has encouraged her son to undergo the Liberation procedure even if it means travelling outside Canada. Linda has many years experience with one of Canada’s largest private charitable foundations and has worked in a leadership capacity with many not-for-profit organizations. At present, Linda is actively involved in raising funds for the CCSVI research initiative at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton.
Brock Winterton (Nominee for MS Society Board)
Brock was a research analyst for a major investment dealer with global reach for over 20 years. Subsequently, he ran the research department of an independent Canadian investment dealer with exposure in most major areas of the economy. Brock has a Chartered Financial Analyst designation. His past charitable activities include the experimental theatre community in Toronto and that National Ballet of Canada. He is the Convenor of the Board of Managers of his church. Brock Winterton is married to Janet Heisey.

The following quote will explain why your vote is so necessary at this AGM. We need to ensure that we have a voice and representation on the Board, with our votes for Linda and Brock (from the Blocked Veins MS Research Group www.blockedveinsMSresearchgroup.com).
In an e-mail sent to society members Friday, Ontario board member Valerie Hussey wrote that “Dr. Zamboni’s claims needs a great deal of further research, something the MS Society supports.”
Hussey urged members to vote for the current board members up for re-election instead of “supporters of CCSVI (with) a desire to push a single agenda to the forefront of the Society. The MS Society functions on well balanced principles: support to people living with MS, and research to find a cure. If those who believe that CCSVI is a cure and should be the primary or only agenda for the MS Society are able to assume a strong position on the National Board, it could have very serious implications for MS research broadly and services to people with MS.”
