Northern California and Northern Nevada
Statement of Diversity
Our guiding principles begin with "Family Focus: We draw our mission and priorities from the experience of those touched by Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders, and continue with, "Diversity: We ensure all people in our highly diverse region access to our organization."
These principles support the delivery of our mission to our community, Northern California and Northern Nevada. For our mission to be successful we must draw from the experience of all the communities we are charged to serve. We realize that serving diverse communities present challenges to the historical Alzheimers Association, yet we are committed to leaving no group behind. We envision an Alzheimer’s Association in which the multicultural mindshare is organic to our organization, a vision shared by staff, Board, volunteers, donors and community partners.
