The Alzheimer’s Association is pleased to welcome 10 new members, including Illinois resident Tom Oestreicher to this year’s National Early-Stage Advisory Group.
Tom has represented the GIC extensively, including at events like Reason to Hope and the Illinois Action Summit in Springfield. Tom was chosen from 56 applicants across the country to be a part of the group, whose primary goal is to raise awareness and help reduce the stigma associated with Alzheimer’s by sharing their personal stories and experiences. They also advocate for increased research funding and provide input to the Association about programs and materials designed to meet the growing needs of early-stage individuals. Congratulations Tom!
