From the desk of the executive director.(National Ataxia Foundation)(Conference notes)

The National Ataxia Foundation recently held its 52nd Annual Membership Meeting in Seattle, Washington on March 20-22. The meeting was a great success and we are truly thankful to the Seattle Area Ataxia Support Group and the British Columbia Ataxia Society for co-hosting this outstanding conference.

These NAF annual membership meetings represent the largest gathering of ataxians in the world. Many of the states in the United States were represented, along with registrants as far away as Australia and Hong Kong. At the conference, world-leading ataxia scientists and clinicians gave presentations on cutting-edge ataxia research along with speakers who provided valuable information on topics ranging from "Nutrition and Ataxia" to "Wheelchair Yoga."
