The Alzheimer International Society’s Ambassador Program is designed to empower volunteers to reach out to the community and to engage with elected officials.
The Alzheimer Ambassadors are grassroots volunteers who commit to serve for a renewable two-year term. The official duties of an Ambassador include: performing a number of volunteer activities that include meetings with elected officials, attendance at the annual Alzheimer International Society Forum, outreach to local media outlets and frequent interaction with local Society staff.
In the USA the Alzheimer’s Ambassadors serve as the main point of in-district contact for a targeted member of Congress. They develop trusted relationships with their assigned congressional office through ongoing, personal contacts, drawing upon proven techniques and the support of Alzheimer International Society- USA and local chapter staff.
