On Wednesday, October 4, 2017, UsAgainstAlzheimer's held a National Summit in Washington D.C. Veronica Miller, PhD, the Executive Director of the Forum was one of the panelists.

 The Opening Session Panelists from left to right: Nancy Brinker (founder of Susan G Komen), The other panelists are Rita Carreon (hidden) – Institute for Hispanic Health UnidosUS, Wade Henderson (Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights), Veronica Miller (Forum for Collaborative Research), Isabell Sawhill (Brookings Institution/ National Campaign to Prevent Teen and unplanned pregnancy) & Mike McMurry (Former White House Secretary)

On behalf of UsAgainstAlzheimer’s and all those who attended our National Summit events last week, I write to thank you for the perspectives and insights you shared with all of us as a panelist for our opening session, Growing the Alzheimer's Movement: Learning from Others.

 The feedback we have heard thus far has been nothing short of rave reviews: “top-flight,” “inspiring,” “impressive,” “impactful,” “motivating,” “purpose-filled,” “actionable,” “informative,” “you keep raising the bar,” “awe-inspiring” and “collaborative.” One comment that particularly gratified us:  “…few left without embracing their personal and pivotal role in the fight against Alzheimer's.”

We absolutely could not have presented such an influential, successful event without you.

We are so honored that you shared your time and your thoughts with the Summit audience. Three hundred attended in person, more listened to the live-stream, and even more will see the audio and video clips we disseminate for each session. You can find those at this link (scroll down to the National Alzheimer's Summit portion).

It is the engagement and collaboration and knowledge-sharing with experts such as you that defines the “us” in UsAgainstAlzheimer’s. 

Uniting communities against Alzheimer’s was the theme of our 2017 Summit events. More importantly, it is a core value of UsAgainstAlzheimer’s approach. We are honored to count you among those with whom we have collaborated to help end Alzheimer’s, not “someday” but very soon.

With my deepest thanks,

George Vradenburg

Chairman and Co-Founder
