Stuart Schlossman
President and FounderMr. Schlossman is the founder and President of MS Views and News (MSVN). Since his diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis in 1998, Stuart has been an active and vocal voice in the MS community. Stuart was previously a Vice President and principal of Mico International Corp., a distributor of industrial parts and supplies to the apparel industry. From 1980 to April 2001, his company activities included responsibility for sales in South Florida and Latin America. Stuart has traveled throughout many regions of Mexico and Central America. He was responsible for sales and upkeep of inventory as well as intricately involved in corporate planning and quality control.
Prior to MS Views and News (MSVN), Stuart was a Chairperson for several years for local National MS Society MS Walks and their annual MS Expo. Additionally he volunteered countless other hours for the South Florida MS Society chapter helping wherever he could for the benefit of the MS patient and caregiver(s).
In order to make information more available, everywhere, in 2005 Stuart formed what is now known as MS Views and News. In 2008 he formalized plans to turn the organization into one of the premier outlets for MS information and reached out to the community for consultants and directors. The Board of Directors for MS Views & News has been meeting since September of 2008 and gained non-profit (501(C)(3)) status in May 2009. As President, Stuart voluntarily oversees the daily operations of the organization and is the driving force behind its successes.
MS Views and News provides educational information and resources via live seminars and via the internet. The organization currently hosts at least one live educational seminar somewhere in the State of Florida each month.
Since 2010, MS Views and News has provided greater than 500 educational programs, with live and virtual audiences. There is a great need for learning about Multiple Sclerosis and MS Views and News continues to educate.
In addition to the MS Views and News website and live learning programs, the organization provides a monthly e-Newsletter called 'The MS Beacon'. Since the inception of MS Views and News, our website, blog and e-newsletters are read by thousands of individuals each month.
Social Media is another outlet that Stuart and MSVN use to provide information for anybody with internet access. We can easily be found on Facebook, X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram or Linked-in. Plus our MS Views and News Learning channel on Youtube found here: www.youtube.com/msviewsandnews .
Stuart, who is a workaholic, has learned to moderate his days in order to be able to work on his causes and still maintain his health. Stuart finds that his work for the MS community actually helps him to keep distracted of his own MS disease progression.
His passion is to bring awareness of MS news and educational information to those affected by multiple sclerosis in the USA and throughout the world.
To many affected by MS, Stuart when attending functions is simply known as that guy from Stu's Views & MS News.
Stuart is humble in his role but will continue to make himself known in the MS community, simply because, also as an MS patient, he feels he knows just a little bit more, of what the patients want to learn.
