Junior Board

Meet our Junior Board and learn how to get involved

Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama established our Junior Board in 2016 to engage young professionals to join us and support our local efforts to improve the lives of patients and caregivers.

Many of our members have a family connection to the disease or work in the senior industry. All members support the goal of working towards a world without Alzheimer’s.

The Junior Board has pledged to raise $25,000 to support ACA’s research grant program this year. Since 2001, ACA has funded research grants at Alabama universities. This money is raised primarily through Glow for a Cure, a night golf tournament in late summer and multiple smaller events like restaurant percent of sales and bingo at a local brewery. Join the Junior Board to share your ideas for future events!

If you are interested in serving on ACA’s Junior Board, please complete the application below or contact us for more information. Young professionals and Alzheimer’s family members between the ages of 23 – 40, who live or work in Alabama, are eligible to apply.

Board Standards:

  • Members must be able to attend monthly meetings.
  • Members must serve on a committee and support the Junior Board’s overall mission and fundraising goals.
  • Members must commit to attend and support at least one of ACA’s annual fundraisers – Garden Art Party in the spring, Glow for a Cure Golf Tournament in late summer and Walking to Remember in November
