In addition to our core programming, the Alzheimer’s Association maintains an active Speakers Bureau that consists of volunteers lending their expertise to general and professional audiences on a variety of topics. The Speakers Bureau serves all of Harris and 28 surrounding counties. Current speakers include physicians, health care professionals, mental health professionals, attorneys, financial planners, and family caregivers. We welcome speakers fluent in all languages.

• Normal Aging, Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
