“I am proud for the opportunity to build on 25 years of work the staff, board, and volunteers have done to serve our members and the thousands of people here in Southwest Florida living with a dementia-related disorder.  I look forward to collaborating with community partners to educate the community, create an integrating system of support and eliminate the stigma that surrounds the disease. Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance to you.”  https://www.linkedin.com/in/lynne-thorp100/
