Dr Laura Booi, PhD is a Gerontologist from Vancouver, Canada. For over the past decade her research has focused on improving the lives of those live with dementia, as well as those who support them. In our February 2019 "A Meeting Of The Minds" Webinar, she highlighted the work of the World Young Leaders in Dementia (WYLD). We thank Laura for her time, support of DAI, and expertise.
This is a network of young professionals in the field of dementia. WYLD members represent over 300 individuals, under the age of 40, from 30 countries, spanning across 6 continents, who are working together across disciplines and borders to develop innovative dementia solutions. The network supports the work of the World Dementia Council as well as other NGOs.
WYLD offers opportunities for professionals in the dementia space to connect and learn from others across disciplines and geographic boundaries.
