Debbie Jones, Alzheimer’s Association East Central Iowa Chapter President, has been elected to the National Alzheimer’s Association Board of Directors. 

“I am very excited and humbled to have this opportunity to serve on the National Board,” Jones stated. “I will continue to be an advocate for Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers in the area of public policy.  This disease is very personal to me. I believe we must raise awareness and funds to promote research so that our children can someday live in a world without this devastating disease.  I am committed to making this happen.”

The announcement was made in Chicago during a recent Alzheimer’s Association National Board meeting this past November. Jones will serve a three-year term.
