• "Thank you again for the Dementia 101 training you presented to us yesterday! That really is such a tough but important topic, and I feel as though I learned a lot and gained new perspectives despite my already rather thorough experience with the disease.I really appreciate you raising awareness about dementia, and how it impacts us not just personally, but in the communities we serve."

    — S. M., Public Librarian

    "I just wanted to tell you how inspired I’ve been by your work. I have absorbed so much energy from learning about the programs you have organized and the creative ways you navigate feedback and program evaluation. I keep thinking about all the amazing work you and your team are doing.

    More than anything, though, I have been so inspired by the way you consistently embody anti-agism – not only the ways it clearly informs your programming, but in the way you communicate and advocate.

    As a human who is aging, as we all are, I am comforted that your perspective is here and making an impact in this space. And it makes me to want to be a more educated advocate myself, for the older adults I work with, and for all of us as we age."

    "I'm writing to pass on some staff compliments for Amy's Dementia 101 training. One of my staff members who has been here for close to 20 years told me that it was the best training that he had ever attended. He particularly complimented Amy's knowledge and understanding of the material as well as her compassionate delivery of the information. This is not someone who is easy to please, so this is really saying something!"

    "I am expressing my appreciation for the excellent training Amy brought today. Dementia 101 was very well attended, attesting to staff's desire for this kind of information. I was struck by how engaged the staff were with the content. Amy delivers excellent context and beneficial suggestions on how we might better serve our community, with her signature grace and compassion."
