Alzheimer’s Advocacy Event 2021 Goes Virtual For New Mexico State Legislature
Albuquerque Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely limited in-person gatherings, the Alzheimer’s Association, New Mexico Chapter announces the details of its ‘Alzheimer’s Advocacy Event 2021’ that will now take place “virtually” during the current state 60-day legislative session – which also is being held virtually.
During previous sessions, this special event has traditionally taken place annually in the Roundhouse and attended by state legislators, top-ranking officials of state government, and the NM Chapter’s volunteer advocates. It has provided a valuable opportunity for all affected by Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia to discuss, advocate and increase awareness among state legislators. This year, due to the pandemic, the chapter is bringing this meaningful gathering to a virtual platform.
