The new Editorial Board of MSIF’s biannual magazine MS in focus met in London from 30 November to 1 December 2009.
The Board discussed topics for future issues and wider issues relating to the magazine including how the magazine can serve MSIF’s development aims and be accessible to the widest possible global audience.
This is the first time the Editorial Board has met in person. The Board usually work by email and phone and this one-off meeting was valuable in making concrete decisions and building relationships between members.
"It was very valuable to get together ... to meet up and see where everyone's coming from," Dr Elizabeth McDonald, MS Australia.
"We got more work done in a day than we would have in a month on the phone," Dorothea Pfohl, USA.

Dr Elizabeth McDonald, Australia
Martha King, USA
Michele Messmer Uccelli, Italy (Editor)
Dorothea Pfohl, USA
Silvia Traversa, Italy (Editorial assistant)
Dr Pablo Villoslada, Spain
Guy De Vos, Belgium
