Join your local Walk to End Alzheimer's Planning Committee and help grow the movement to end Alzheimer's from the ground up.

Committee members plan each Walk to End Alzheimer's event from the kick-off to the wrap-up. Activities of your local committee include the following:

  • Sponsorship
  • Team Recruitment
  • Team Retention
  • Marketing & Outreach
  • AIM-Advocacy

Work with your Walk staff partner to select a subcommittee that best fits your skills and interests.

Committee meetings generally held once a month and, at this time, are being held virtually.

Walk Planning Committee members are also expected to start or join a Walk to End Alzheimer’s team at alz.org/Maryland/Walk to raise awareness and funds. Together, we can create a memorable and moving event experience for participants.
