We are excited to welcome you to the PMD Alliance In Sync!® Online Support Group Leader Workshop as an Attendee. We consider this workshop to be the beginning of a very rich, long-term relationship with you. This is a partnership that creates benefits for you and your group, for PMD Alliance, and most importantly, for the people who benefit from our shared leadership and support.
Support Group Leader Agreement
Description of In Sync!® Online Support Group Leaders Program
In partnership, we serve support groups by offering coaching, connecting, and collaboration. Partnering with you offers collective success – a successful partnership defined by actions, not words – a partnership predicated on shared trust, honest communication, seeking the highest good for all, and a shared commitment to the support of your organization and ours.
PMD Alliance does not duplicate programs and services that already exist successfully in the community, and knowing well the challenges and hard work that you do as a support group leader, we’re eager to see you at the In Sync!® Online Support Group Leader Workshop. One of our most important programs, In Sync!® workshops constitute nearly 30% of our annual budget and represent a total investment of approximately $600.00 per support group leader each year (as of 2019).
Support group leaders are the lifeblood of the Parkinson’s and movement disorder community, and our investment in you is one of the most important investments we can make. In turn, as we cover all expenses for the workshop in support of you and your work, we ask that you support the important work of PMD Alliance, as well.
