We have mailed the registration form of the Regional Family Conference to be held in Jackson, MS at the Jackson Marriott Hotel on Saturday, September 10th, 2011 to all constituents in Mississippi and surroundings states. Most of you should have received this form/flyer with program by now! If not, click on the highlighted link which will take you to the form!
The Regional Family Conference, sponsored by the National Foundation for Ectodermal Dysplasias (NFED), is an opportunity for individuals and families to meet others who are affected by ectodermal dysplasias and to hear lectures from medical and dental professionals who have extensive knowledge of ectodermal dysplasias.
For the children (age 12 and younger), information is presented in a fun environment at Kids’ Camp. Kids’ Camp is an opportunity to meet others who are similarly affected by the ectodermal dysplasias. Through craft activities, games and presentations, the NFED replaces fears with information and substitutes the sense of isolation with new friendships.
So, please join us & mail, e-mail or fax your registration form ASAP!
Being new to all of this I have questions. Is the Regional Family conference the same as the Family Conference but only for people in the Mississippi Area? If its different how is it different? Does the regional conference ever change Areas? Is it ever held somewhere else?
The Regional conference is a one day event. We hold 1-2 Regional conferences per year in different parts of the country. The National Family Conference is a 3 day event.
