We who have benefited from the NSP must not only give our personal support by holding on to that net. We must also be responsible for taking our message to the professional speech- language pathology community, to other related organizations, to businesses, and to the general public to excite them about the good work we are doing. We must encourage them to join us in our effort. And that effort must be to give every child or adult in this country who suffers from stuttering the opportunity to lead productive and successful lives. We are in a unique position as the largest consumer based organization for those who stutter to improve the way in which stuttering is viewed and treated in this country.
S o let's be about that work by having the best convention ever.
Share your vision of hope with everyone you come in contact with . Walk tall with dignity knowing that you are here to help yourself as well as to help others. There is no higher calling. Take some time to attend workshops to educate yourself and others. Be supportive by holding a hand or offering a shoulder when it's needed.
