    Massachusetts and New Hampshire Chapter Advocacy

    Massachusetts and New Hampshire Chapter Advocacy

    The Alzheimer's Association, MA/NH Chapter is the largest group in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire advocating on behalf of those living with Alzheimer's and dementia and their families. Thanks to the tireless work of our advocates, we’ve passed critical legislation in Congress as well as in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, and significantly increased federal research funding.
     
    But our work isn’t done. We need dedicated, passionate advocates like you to build on this success in Congress and in our state capitals. Whatever your availability or your experience, you can make a difference by sharing your story and joining our volunteer team of advocates.

    Become an advocate and help advance public policies that continue to make Alzheimer’s a local and national priority.

    Advocacy volunteering

    Conquering Alzheimer’s is as much a matter of public policy as scientific discovery, and we need your help to change the future of this devastating disease. As a volunteer advocate, you’ll make your voice heard, drive policymakers to address Alzheimer’s and other dementia, and improve the lives of everyone affected by Alzheimer’s.
