Together on the frontline, the National MS Society and MS activists nationwide share the stories of those living with MS, connect with decision makers, work with like-minded partners and create systems change to impact the greatest number of people possible. To make this work possible, the National MS Society's home office and chapters work in partnership. In Washington, DC, the Society's Advocacy Department, also referred to as the public policy office, guides our federal policy priorities. State and local activism priorities are determined by both an organizational process and by advocacy staff and government relations volunteers with our 50-state chapter network. Federal Advocacy. The advocacy department is a component of our home office and carries the primary responsibility for federal advocacy, with guidance from the society's federal activism council and input from other interested society members and partners. This office conducts legislative and regulatory issue research on pending issues, sets priorities, develops positions and advocacy strategies for key priority issues, monitors the progress of important bills and proposed regulations, communicates this information to the chapters and MS activists, and manages the advocacy action required to support or oppose various matters. Each spring, the department hosts the national MS society public policy conference in Washington, DC. For the participating chapter volunteers and staff, the conference provides background information on important federal issues, as well as training in advocacy techniques. One of the annual highlights is when conference participants visit their elected federal legislators to gain support for the society's priority issues. The conference is an excellent opportunity for volunteers and chapter staff to engage as ms activists. The Washington, dc office also follows activity in the executive branch agencies that have jurisdiction over important health policy issues. In the federal executive branch, we closely watch any recommendations from the white house on our issues. In addition, we monitor activity in the following departments and programs: department of health and human services (national institutes of Health, Medicare and Medicaid), the social security administration, the food and drug administration (critical path initiatives), and the justice department (equal employment opportunity commission and other offices enforcing the Americans with disabilities act). 2797983 366190 100000 3064173 2559985 250000 -12002 2797983 2449604 250381 140000 2559985 2393545 56059 2449604 1.00000 false false 2315455 1268039 1047416 33258933 30010470 3248463 1508138 972297 535841 4831720 0 0 99506786 101141538 -1634752 2313154 2313154 678402 106138910 2313154 4467391 6780545 99358365 163751 -15330 148421 99506786 105460508 4467391 15330 4482721 100977787 163751 163751 101141538 Schdeule D, Part V, Line 4 The endowment fund represents those funds that are designated for the long-term benefit of the Society and are not to be used for operating or capital purposes.
