The Annual Conference will be June 5th at the Eugene Faith Center. A year of preparation and planning has gone into the conference. The first meeting of the Education Committee after a conference is spent reviewing what was perfect and what could have been done differently. Then the brainstorming and prep starts for the next year.
Faces and Voices of Alzheimer's a Community Collage is the name of this years conference. Although a tad bit wordy, hopefully it conveys that it takes a village, or a community to support caregivers, those diagnosed and anyone affected by this disease.
The speakers for this year will be outstanding. I have been a nurse caring for patients with Alzheimer's Disease for 17 years now and each year I learn something new plus I am reminded of things I have forgotten about the disease. (ironic)
The speaker I am most excited about hearing is Joseph F. Quinn, MD, Associate Professor, Department of Neurology Oregon Health & Sciences University.
Join us if you can. It is one day out of 365. You never know who has been or will be diagnosed with this disease. This one day may make a profound difference in the upcoming year.
