This week, our annual Advocacy Forum marked a significant step (KICK!) forward in the Alzheimer’s Association's effort to advance our top federal legislative priority, the bipartisan Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act 🔬, as well as celebrate the progress we’ve made and the leaders who champion our mission.

We send our congratulations and gratitude to recipient of the 2026 AIM Humanitarian of the Year Award, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, for her tireless commitment to helping support families in Connecticut and beyond, and for leading the fight to in Congress!

The AIM Advocacy Forum is always a powerful reminder that our cause is not red or blue — it’s purple. The work we lead in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals around the country is a powerful source of progress — and hope. 💜
