Dementia Alliance Ambassadors are a dedicated group of volunteer leaders and dementia advocates who will engage and activate awareness about Dementia Alliance of North Carolina programs, services and events. They will be equipped with knowledge and tools to implement dementia awareness activities within their local communities and serve as a resource for families living with dementia.
