Employment Teleconference
Tele-work 101: How to Access Work-from-Home Opportunities
Tuesday, December 10, 2008
12 -1:30 p.m.
Tele-work is an emerging alternative employment option for people living with MS for whom commuting has become too difficult due to mobility and fatigue challenges. This 90 minute teleconference will address how to get started in securing legitimate tele-work opportunities and answer questions you may have about tele-work and home based employment.
To register now by calling 1-800-344-4867 or email Carolyn. One week prior to the call, another email will be sent to you with the call-in number and materials for the program. All questions will be addressed through email. 
The National MS Society is committed to building a movement by and for people with MS that will move us closer to a world free of this disease.
To ignite this movement, we have developed a new language and look to help people better understand what it means to live with MS.
Take action. Join the movement.
