Advocate Spotlight
Volunteer advocates play a critical role in helping the Alzheimer's Association advance
better public policy with our state and federal leaders. Every email, tweet, phone call
and meeting make a real difference. We thank all of our advocates for their commitment
to the cause to help us realize a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Read
