We need your voice! The 2013 Illinois Action Summit will take place Wednesday, March 13 in Springfield. It is a time for all of us in the Alzheimer’s community to meet with state lawmakers and let them know just how important this cause is for hundreds of thousands of families throughout Illinois.

Join us Wednesday, March 13 for the 2013 Illinois Action Summit!
During this important event, we will encourage our Illinois legislators to understand the importance of prioritizing Alzheimer’s disease among our State’s policies. Your presence and voice provide the greatest opportunity to ensure that the needs of Alzheimer’s patients, family members and caregivers are addressed. Please consider taking the time to be a part of this critical movement!
At the beginning of the Summit, we will provide information on the Association’s policy priorities for 2013 as well as the messages we will ask advocates to carry to legislators throughout the afternoon. Strategies and tools for a successful visit will also be shared.
Following lunch, we will host a meet n’ greet with Lt. Governor Sheila Simon in her Springfield office. This event will provide an opportunity for you to engage your legislator in a fun and informal setting. We will also visit many other members of both the Illinois Senate and House of Representatives, and you will have the chance to share your personal stories and ask for support for Alzheimer’s initiatives.
Transportation to the Capitol will be arranged from a variety of locations. A small donation is requested to help cover lunch, snacks, transportation and all advocacy materials.
