It is an honor and a privilege to work with volunteers and community members who are passionate about raising awareness and funds to enhance Alzheimer's care and support in Vermont and advance critical research globally. As Development Director/Communications Director/Interim Executive Director, I provided strategic planning and management oversight to all Chapter development activities in collaboration with, and adherence to, National organizational standards. During my five year tenure with the Association, annual revenue nearly doubled from $450,000 to over $900,000 due to statewide expansion of national signature peer-to-peer fundraising (Walk to End Alzheimer's and The Longest Day) and local special events (Reason to Hope Dinner and Camel's Hump Challenge.) The recruitment, engagement and retention of volunteers and grassroots advocates directly contributed to our ability to increase Walk to End Alzheimer's revenue by 15% annually. In addition to serving as a public spokesperson for the Chapter, I created, developed and placed content with local media outlets to help raise concern and awareness for Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
