Do you want to make your town or city a more welcoming and inclusive place for people with dementia and their families? Join us for “Collaborating for a Dementia-Friendly Washington: Moving Forward Together,” a statewide conference featuring strategies, programs, and initiatives you can use to build a more dementia-friendly community!

• A 2-day virtual event,  Tues/Wed September 19–20 (9 a.m.–12 p.m.), with a pre-conference virtual “happy hour” on Monday September 18 from 4–5 p.m.
• NEW this year, partners in Clark, King, Spokane and Whatcom Counties are organizing in-person networking events for conference attendees the afternoon of Tues Sep 19. Information will be posted on the conference website by Sep 1.

The conference is for anyone who wants to take action to make their community more dementia-friendly, including people with dementia, caregivers, and people who work or volunteer in a variety of public settings: aging and senior services, arts and culture, chambers of commerce, city government, community centers, cultural associations, faith communities, libraries, neighborhood groups, parks and recreation, service clubs, social or health care services. Whether you joined us for a previous conference or are attending for the first time, you’ll take away plenty of practical ideas and helpful tools!
