Mr. Bridgwater currently serves on the National Alzheimer's Association Board. Our second keynote speaker, Frank Broyles, established the Barbara Broyles Legacy, after his wife, Barbara, passed away from Alzheimer's disease in 2004. He has been a vocal supporter of Alzheimer's research and improved caregiving for older adults.
