Our History

The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980. Tulsa was known as the Tulsa Green Country Chapter – just one of 203 chapters nationwide over the next decade.

In 1996, the OKC and Tulsa Green Country Chapters merged to become “The Oklahoma Chapter”.

Then, through a national realignment plan in 2001, many of the over 200 chapters merged through a National realignment plan. It was during this time that Oklahoma merged with Arkansas to become: “The Oklahoma and Arkansas Chapter, Inc.”

For over 12 years, we remained a two-state chapter with 5 offices.

Page 7: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Our History

On June 30, 2013, the Board of Directors voted to separate the Arkansas operations in an effort to better serve the overall mission of the Association. Arkansas became a separate chapter under the National Alzheimer’s Association: “The Arkansas Chapter”.

Page 8: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Return to a one-state Chapter

Effective July 1, 2013 We once again became a single state chapter:

“The Oklahoma Chapter”

Proudly celebrating

30 years of service to Oklahoma families!

Page 9: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Our Chapter‟s History

Our current budget is slightly in excess of $3.5

million.

The chapter‟s headquarters are in Tulsa, with an

office in Oklahoma City and an outreach office

opened in Lawton in January 2014. Another

outreach office is planned in Enid later this year.

Currently there are 21 FT and 2 PT employees.

Page 10: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Our Board Current Chapter Board membership stands at 27.

Our Advisory Board was formed in 2005 as a result of strong

leadership of Chapter board members whose terms were

expiring. In an effort to retain their valued leadership, vision

and commitment to our cause, the Alumni Advisory Board

was created.

As chapter board member‟s terms expire, they are

considered for the Advisory Board as determined by the

G&N Committee. Current membership stands at 18.

Page 11: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Our History – the National Perspective

The Alzheimer's Association® is the world‟s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer‟s disease care and support and the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer‟s disease research. It was founded by leading Chicago businessman Jerome H. Stone and representatives from several families who had met with the National Institute on Aging to explore the value of a nonprofit organization to complement federal efforts surrounding Alzheimer‟s disease. That meeting resulted in the formation of the Alzheimer‟s Association in 1980 with Mr. Stone as president.

Page 12: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Our History – the National Perspective

Today the Alzheimer‟s Association includes more than eighty chapters across America and national offices in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Its mission is to eliminate Alzheimer‟s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Its vision is A World Without Alzheimer’s Disease®.

Page 13: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Our History – From the National Perspective

Harry Johns became

President/CEO of the

National Alzheimer‟s

Association in 2005.

He formerly served the

American Cancer Society

for 23 years.

Page 14: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Shared Fundraising Model

In 2006, National developed a shared fundraising

model in an effort to emphasize cooperation, not

competition throughout the network.

Our chapter was the first nationwide to enter the

Shared Fundraising agreement with the National

office.

Over the next several years, as this model became a

best practice, other chapters also joined. While some

chapters elected not to join and thus are no longer

part of the National Association, we currently have a

total of 80 chapters nationwide.

Page 15: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

Shared Fundraising SF incentivizes the National

organization to invest in Chapters and

allows for an unrestricted sharing

formula of locally raised and

unrestricted funds, as follows:

– 60% remains with chapter;

– 30% goes to National; and

– 10% Nationwide Mission

This effort has strengthened our

nationwide competitive advantage,

pulled us together as an organization

and accelerated progress toward our

mission.

Page 16: 9183925006 - 01 2014 new employee orientation

New Chapter Leadership 2010

Following the retirement of longtime chapter President/CEO, Judi Ver Hoef, Mark Fried was promoted to this position effective July 1, 2010.

Mark joined the Association in 2005 as regional director in the OKC office and was later moved to EVP.

Strategic Plan This is a collaboratively developed plan developed for all parts of the

Alzheimer's Association and includes the overarching Association-wide

strategic objectives and priority activities on which each part of the

organization and all staff are monitored and measured during the years

of the plan.

The Oklahoma Chapter will meet with National staff member, Jim Wilgus

on April 16 for an overview of the new Plan and determine the Oklahoma

Chapter’s priorities as it relates to the SP.
