Summary:

Right now, millions of Americans face the devastation of Alzheimer’s. This disease is robbing us of our families, our futures and our finances. At the Alzheimer’s Association, our network of more than 75 chapters is working relentlessly to advance world-class research, ensure access to gold-standard care and support, and engage mission-driven volunteers who make it happen.

Alzheimer's Association Faith Outreach Representatives (FORs) are community engagers that raise awareness of Alzheimer's Association programs, provide basic disease information, and link consumers to Alzheimer’s Association services. FORs serve as liaisons between the Alzheimer's Association and local faith groups and congregations. FORs represent the Alzheimer’s Association by sharing information about Alzheimer’s disease, free resources offered through the Alzheimer’s Association, and the many ways to join our cause at local community and education events.

• Promote Alzheimer’s education by hosting at least one education event per year in your community; help promote the events by utilizing local networks, announcements, bulletin boards, social media, websites, and physical displays in your community.
