Thursday's program will give participants all the information and training you need to be an effective advocate for positive change with your legislators, and give you a chance to meet and practice with your assigned team mates. On Friday March 5, you and your meeting team will participate in 1-3 meetings that we'll schedule for you. We'll do our best to work with your schedules. The centerpiece of our advocacy will be our sponsored bill, Senate Bill 48, to require general internists and family physicians in California to take at least 4 hours of continuing education on dementia as part of their biennial CME requirement. We will also be supporting other elements of the recently-released Master Plan for Aging and the Governor's proposed $17 million in state budget funding for Alzheimer's research, care and support.

Mission Statement
The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support and research. Our mission: To eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our vision, A world without Alzheimer's disease.
Description
We provide programs and support services for patients, families, caregivers, and others in the San Francisco Bay Area affected by Alzheimer's disease and related disorders. Outside the federal government, the Alzheimer's Association is the largest research funder in the country and offers advocacy opportunities to make public policy change.
At the Alzheimer's Association, diversity and inclusion are vital to our mission. The Association leads strategic initiatives to support diversity and a culture of inclusivity. These strategic initiatives also strengthen outreach to all populations, providing communities with resources and support to address the Alzheimer’s crisis. By partnering with organizations locally and nationally to advance diversity and inclusion, the Association can broaden its reach in all communities.
