Executive Directors

Jules Kuperberg

Jules Kuperberg is Co-Executive Director of the MSF. A graduate of Northern Michigan University and a seasoned business executive, he has served in various capacities since joining in 1991. Jules takes great pride in his involvement in the evolution of the MSF from that of a regional agency into a multidimensional national service organization. His responsibilities include overseeing fund development and general operations.

Jules developed MSF’s national campaign center,  one of the few outbound fund raising and public awareness call centers in the nation directly owned and managed by a charitable organization.  Jules was among the founders of the Multiple Sclerosis Coalition, an affiliation of leading MS organizations dedicated to fighting MS through various collaborative initiatives. He currently serves as its Vice President.

A co-host of the MSF online educational video series, Living Well with MS, his greatest satisfaction comes from the impact the MSF has made in people’s lives through the years.
