Save the Date - Alzheimer's Association

January 10th at the Rockville Library from 6 to 8pm

The Alzheimer's Association's National Capital Area Chapter in January 2019 is hosting a Community forum in Montgomery County. The purpose of the Alzheimer’s Community Forum is a town hall style meeting that gathers constituents in a neutral setting to ask questions about the disease, discuss their experiences, learn about resources, and discover how to engage in the cause.

The Forum is designed as a strategy to engage communities and better understand how Alzheimer's Association programs and services can be responsive to the diverse and unique people we serve. Although the Alzheimer's Association is hosting and moderating, this event is designed to be participant driven, not a lecture.

The goals of the forum:
  • Listen to the experiences of the community related to the cause. 
  • Identify needs, gaps in resources, and opportunities. 
  • Elevating awareness and visibility of the Alzheimer's Association. 
  • Listen to the experiences of the community related to the cause.
Potential outcomes of this work are to empower communities, establish a network of supporters, leverage volunteer resources and build community partnerships.

More details to follow.
