As co-chairs, we are honored to continue the tradition of this event in support of such an important cause. We would also like to welcome the newly arrived ambassadors, and their families, to Washington, D.C. Tonight, Washington’s business, legislative, and philanthropic leaders will join us in honoring the Washington Diplomatic Corps for their invaluable generosity and contributions to our community. The support of such a diverse group tonight is a reflection of the realities of this disease – MS knows no state or national boundaries. This disease will continue to affect hundreds of thousands of people in the U.S. and 2.5 million worldwide until we find a cure. The National Multiple Sclerosis Society mobilizes people and resources to fund research for a cure, and to address many of the challenges faced by all those affected by MS. We are proud to join the National MS Society to express our gratitude for all your contributions to further this mission. Welcome to the 35th Annual Ambassadors Ball – we wish you a wonderful evening! Sincerely, Terese Casey and Mylene Walden Co-Chairs, 35th Annual Ambassadors Ball 2013 Ambassadors Ball Executive Committee Members Cristina Antelo Lisa Maher Stacey Bowlin Beverly Marshall Jim Conzelman Yancy Molnar Marilyn Harris Rita Norton Lisa Hayes Shawn O’Neail Julius Hobson, Jr. Joann Piccolo Kay Holcombe Debi Schiff Linda Jenckes Brian Wolff Abbie Laugtug Brian Woolfolk J.

He is a vocal advocate for our men and women in the military and their families, and for the growing population of veterans across North Carolina. In the Senate, he serves as Ranking Member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee where he works to improve the quality of health care and services that our nation’s veterans receive. Senator Burr is a member of the Congressional MS Caucus. He is a strong champion of medical research and the National Institutes of Health, including a commitment to promoting a robust medical research pipeline in the U.S. He is a Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs where he is the Ranking Minority Member. The son of a minister, Richard and his family moved to Winston- Salem, North Carolina when he was a young child. After graduating from Wake Forest University, he began his career far from the halls of Congress by spending seventeen years in business with Carswell Distributing, a wholesale commercial products company. Richard and his wife, Brooke, have two sons. 2013 Honorees REPRESENTATIVE CHRIS VAN HOLLEN Congressman Chris Van Hollen was elected to Congress in 2002 and is the Ranking Minority Member on the House Committee on Budget. As co-chair of the MS Caucus, he led the ‘Dear Colleague’ letter initiative that supported increased funding for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program and strong funding for the National Institutes of Health in the past four fiscal years, as well as funding of the Lifespan Respite program from fiscal years 2011 to 2013. He was a lead sponsor of the MS and Parkinson’s Disease Registries Act in the House and strongly supports many of the National MS Society’s Principles for Health Care Reform including the enactment of comprehensive health reform legislation. Congressman Van Hollen also focuses his attention on job creation, reduction of air and water pollution, investments in climate change research, and quality education for all children. Before his election to the U.S. Congress, Congressman Van Hollen served 12 years in the Maryland General Assembly. Previously, he served as a Senior Legislative Advisor for Federal Affairs to Maryland Governor William Donald Schaefer and also as a Professional Staff Member on the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee specializing in national security and a range of foreign policy issues. Earlier, he served as the Legislative Assistant for Defense and Foreign Policy to former Maryland Senator Charles McC. Mathias, Jr. Congressman Van Hollen received an undergraduate degree from Swarthmore College, a Masters in Public Policy from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and his J.D. from the Georgetown University Law Center. Congressman Van Hollen lives in Kensington, Maryland with his wife, Katherine, and their three children, Anna, Nicholas, and Alexander. 2013 Honorees THE HONORABLE CAPRICIA PENAVIC MARSHALL Ambassador Capricia Penavic Marshall served as the Chief of Protocol of the United States from 2009 until 2013. During her tenure, Ambassador Marshall was the lead representative of her country in setting the stage for successful diplomatic engagement with other nations at the highest levels. In serving on the front lines of diplomacy, hers was the first hand extended to welcome presidents, prime ministers, ruling monarchs, and other foreign dignitaries to the United States. She oversaw the coordination of five international summits hosted by President Barack Obama, six State and Official Visits, and hundreds of other bilateral and multilateral meetings with President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, as well as Secretaries of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Kerry. Ambassador Marshall also served as the principal liaison between the United States government and foreign Chiefs of Mission in Washington, D.C. In this capacity, she established a new office—the Diplomatic Partnerships Division—to promote cross-cultural exchange and build new international partnerships with leaders in business, culture, and government throughout the country. Ambassador Marshall holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from Purdue University and a Juris Doctor from Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
