Please join us for Alzheimer’s Advocacy Day on Wednesday, April 27, 2022. Due to space restrictions caused by COVID, advocates will be gathering at the Capitol Plaza Hotel in Montpelier for a day of advocacy in action. Legislators will join us for lunch, which will include a panel discussion and some special recognitions.
