Executive Team

Dear Members,

Reflecting on the past twelve months, the Peripheral Neuropathy Support Group gratefully acknowledges the support and the contributions of our volunteers, donors, and advisors who have enabled us to continue our work on behalf of patients with peripheral neuropathy and their caregivers. 

In 2020, we’ve taken major strides forward with YOUR help:

  • Implemented a master database of members after they provided permission to email them. 
  • Implemented a software tool to facilitate group communications with members (Mailchimp).
  • Held in-person meetings with more than 80 members in attendance for prominent speakers.
  • Held monthly virtual meetings for presentations and open discussions; initiated closed captioning
  • Implemented a Facebook page, On Your Feet, for member engagement on topics of interest:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/515594619050826
  • Implemented a new website:  https://pnsnetwork.org/  with many new features such as:
  • Footnotes Section featuring news, announcements, and media notices;
  • Resource Directory: Providers, Product/Services, Medications/Supplements;   
  • Members Section for a convenient way to Join, Volunteer and Donate.

To better support our group that has rapidly grown to nearly 400 people, Steve Klitzman and Michael Foxworth are pleased to announce the formation of an Executive Team of volunteers to lead our group:
