Do you see these lovely faces?? These are just some of my wonderful colleagues that I'm lucky enough to work with at the Alzheimer's Association. We met in St. Cloud last week to plan, brainstorm, learn, share, and laugh -- and it was beautiful! This is what women lifting up women looks like. The Alzheimer’s Association has (once again) been named toThe Nonprofit TimesBest Nonprofits to Work For list. Every year since 2010, the Alzheimer’s Association has been listed among the top five “large” nonprofits (more than 250 employees) on the list. I feel honored to work for this amazing organization.Would YOU like to work for the Alzheimer's Association, too? Message me about a great opportunity available in the St. Cloud area!

Today was Minnesota Alzheimer's & Dementia Day at the Capitol! Grateful for our Rochester legislators who took time to meet with me today, including Rep. Andy Smith and Rep. Kim Hicks. Thank you to Sen. Boldon, as well, for championing the dementia care curriculum legislation. Together we can advance our three Minnesota policy priorities this session: 1) to increase caregiver respite, 2) to create a state dementia program manager position, and3) to support a dementia care curriculum for schools. What a great day working alongside my amazing colleagues at the Alzheimer's Association Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter!#Rally4ALZ #mnleg #ENDALZ
