The other exciting news is the official collaboration between DAI and Alzheimer's Disease International.
In their recent communiqué to their Board, they announced their official collaboration with DAI, as follows:
More involvement of people with dementia in the work of ADI
The Board has agreed to start collaborating with Dementia Alliance International (DAI), an independent international group of people living with dementia. This will be done with a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), with ADI agreeing to support the expansion of DAI to increase representation of people with dementia around the world, including those in lower and middle-income countries.
DAI has worked for almost twelve months towards this, and are very hopeful it is the beginning of significant change towards ensuring the voices of people with dementia are heard. Most importantly, that we are always included I the conversations about us, on the things that impact our lives and futures.
Please don’ forget it is not too late to register here for their conference in Perth, where there are two members attending as key note speakers, and a number of other people with dementia given presentations.
