Join the ACL-funded National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center (NADRC) for their upcoming webinar, "Dementia Friendly Clark County, Nevada: What Happens in Vegas Affects the World."

Dementia Friendly Clark County is a grassroots initiative dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by dementia in the Las Vegas Valley. The initiative focuses on strengthening local communities to become more respectful, educated, supportive, and inclusive of people living with dementia and care partners.

Learn how the initiative's impact isn't confined to just the local community. By offering dementia awareness training to Las Vegas hotels and the international airport, they are extending their reach globally. This presentation will illustrate how implementing dementia awareness in one of the world's most renowned tourist destinations transcends community outreach, fostering a worldwide impact.

Presenters:

• LeeAnn Mandarino, MA, CDP, Program Director, Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, Cleveland Clinic
• Danielle Mose, Assistant Safety Officer and ADA Coordinator, Harry Reid International Airport
