In this session we'll discuss the advantages and special considerations of working with older volunteers.
Bobbie D’Addario is the Senior Program Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association, Colorado Chapter. For over 36 years, Bobbie has worked in the nonprofit sector. She began her career as a Social Worker in Buffalo, New York but has been in Colorado for almost thirty years. Bobbie is passionate about people, service, connection and relationships. She worked with youth and volunteers for many years, then with the homeless and those in recovery. She joined the Alzheimer’s Association in August of 2021 as the volunteer coordinator and has recently transitioned to the position of Senior Program Manager in the Denver Metro and some of the Mountain areas. She is most excited to work with community partners and to provide volunteers with the tools that they need to reach people in need of our services. With Alzheimer’s and all other dementia at an all time high, we need as many voices as possible in conversation about services, treatment, and advocacy.
