The 20th Annual Alzheimer's Association Public Policy Forum will take place May 12-14, 2008, in Washington, D.C.

This year is critical to our cause: November’s presidential election provides us with the opportunity to urge candidates to recognize and address the Alzheimer emergency facing our nation.

Keynote speaker Mike McCurry, former White House press secretary, will share strategies on how to make our goals a high priority for legislators. And other experts in the field will provide tips to ensure that our messages are heard loud and clear on Capitol Hill.

We’ll also be releasing our second annual Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, which will bring to light the latest national statistics on the deadly and growing reach of Alzheimer’s disease.

Join us as we reflect on 20 years of Alzheimer advocacy and continue our fight to communicate the urgency of our mission to legislators.
