▶ Random Lake woman honored by Alzheimer’s Association: Lisa Hurley, caregiver and dementia care specialist at the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Sheboygan County, was celebrated as the recipient of the 2023 Alzheimer’s Association Care and Support Volunteer of the Year Award at the 37th annual Wisconsin State Conference May 21-22.
According to a news release, the Care & Support Volunteer of the Year is presented to a “volunteer who continues to make a difference by moving the Alzheimer’s Association mission forward and supporting families throughout Wisconsin.”
Hurley, who lost her father to Alzheimer’s, has been a dedicated and passionate volunteer for the Alzheimer’s Association for more than a decade. She started her volunteer journey on the Walk to End Alzheimer’s planning committee in 2011, and in 2016 took a leadership role by becoming a committee co-chairperson, a position she still holds.
Over the years, Hurley grew her involvement with the Alzheimer’s Association and now volunteers “full mission,” serving across multiple pillars of the organization.
She made her first trip to the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison as an Alzheimer’s Advocate in 2017. Since then, she has attended the Alzheimer’s Association State Advocacy Day every year since — both virtually and in-person.
In December 2019, she decided to do even more and trained as a community educator. She was finishing training just as COVID-19 and work-from-home began, and became a virtual community educator. When the association resumed offering in-person services, she continued to offer some virtual presentations, but also began making connections with community partners to offer in-person education presentations. In the current fiscal year, she has provided 24 education programs to the Sheboygan community that reached 518 constituents.
In June 2022, Hurley took another leap and trained to be a support group facilitator, offering a monthly caregiver support group. She also applied for grant money from the Alzheimer’s Family and Caregiver Support Program to fund the cost of starting a Memories in the Making watercolor program in Sheboygan County. She recruited seven other volunteers to join her in training as Early Stage Social Engagement coordinators, and on May 12 the first monthly Memories in the Making session was held.
