LFA DMV Annual DC Summit: Saturday, March 19th. Come say hi during my panel discussion!!

Looking forward to participating in this Saturday's 2016 DC Lupus Summit at GW University! 

The LFA DMV once again has a great line up of speakers planned for the day of lupus education and discussion.  I'll be there for the day, setting up shop with my Pillbags and books, as well as joining Dr. Vicki Shanmugam as a patient panelist during one of the afternoon break out sessions. A similar panel discussion took place at the Maryland Summit last fall, and I'm looking forward to another candid, lively discussion, especially from the crowd!

Below is the agenda for the event. I hope to see you there!

Click here to register.  The LFA DMV has worked hard to make this event free to all who attend, and you can reserve a box lunch for an additional fee.
