In September 2021, ASSL launched<br />
the Young Leaders Collective (YLC), a<br />
passionate community committed to<br />
changing lives affected by dementia.<br />
The YLC stands on the pillars of<br />
advocacy, networking, education, and<br />
community engagement.<br />
Currently, our Young Leaders<br />
Collective boasts 9 active members, each<br />
devoted to supporting our fundraising<br />
activities. Throughout the past year,<br />
we’ve had some remarkable moments,<br />
including successful events like “It’s 5<br />
O’clock Somewhere,” BorderFest, the IG<br />
Wealth Walk for <strong>Alzheimer</strong>’s, and even<br />
the Kinsmen Santa Claus parade!<br />
The group’s primary goal is to gather<br />
regularly, foster awareness and<br />
understanding of dementia care, while<br />
also facilitating valuable networking<br />
opportunities and making meaningful<br />
contributions to our community.<br />
