That meeting resulted in the April 10, 1980, formation of the Alzheimer’s Association with Mr. Stone as founding president. Today, the Association reaches millions of people affected by Alzheimer’s across the globe through our national office and chapters in communities nationwide.

However, make sure to do your homework and know what the organization wears. Greet everyone with a smile and a handshake. Be ready with your Elevator Pitch. Go first to companies that you’re not as interested in...you might be surprised AND it’s great practice! Speak clearly and concisely and always end on a positive note. Be prepared with questions for the employer. Make sure to get employers’ business cards. Send THANK YOU NOTES to each of the employers within 2 days. Follow up specifically with employers of interest within 2 days, and as often as necessary afterwards.
