ANNUAL REPORT 2018 PRESIDENT’S LETTER AFA LEADERSHIP Board of Directors Dear Friends, “Keep moving forward” is a phrase I use quite often. It’s something I continually tell our team here and everyone else in the fight against Alzheimer’s. Because when it comes to this terrible disease, the status quo is unacceptable. AFA kept moving forward and continued to grow in 2018, with a number of accomplishments of which we are very proud. Among them: Expanding our National Toll-Free Helpline, staffed by licensed social workers trained in dementia care, to seven • Bert E. Brodsky Edward D. Miller Barry Berg, CPA days a week, delivering 3,500 hours of personal, compassionate, quality counseling to more than 5,500 people. Chairman of the Board Vice Chair Treasurer • Providing free confidential memory screenings to more than 1 million people, bringing the total number of individuals served to more than 5 million since the program’s inception. • Bringing our Educating America Tour throughout the nation and connecting thousands of people to resources, knowledge and support services. • Launching a new AFA Lecture Series, “Alzheimer’s Disease from A to Z,” to teach people the signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, how to communicate memory concerns, and prepare a road map for care. • Celebrating the one-year anniversary of AFA’s Education & Resource Center, the hub of our expanding services.

Matthew F. Didora, Esq. Judi Marcus • Making our website bilingual to help meet the rising needs of Spanish-speaking families affected by Alzheimer’s. • Again, earning Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars in recognition of our commitment to accountability, President & Chief Executive Officer transparency and financial responsibility. Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. Nothing epitomized the “keep moving forward” motto better than our first-ever Alzheimer’s Walk this past October at the AFA Respite Care Relief Park in the Town of Babylon, New York. Despite a steady stream of cold rain, nothing dampened the spirits of the hundreds of good folks who came out to make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer’s. The accomplishments of 2018 were significant, but with the number of people affected by Alzheimer’s disease expected to nearly triple by 2060, we must continue to do more. We are grateful for your past support which helped make all of this possible. With your continued generosity, we will build on our shared successes and keep moving forward, enriching lives and creating hope.
