Our History Our history begins in 1980’s, when
the two-state region consisted of 4 separate chapters, with Tulsa known as the Tulsa Green Country Chapter. Up to the late 1990’s, there were 203 chapters nationwide!
In 1996, OKC and Tulsa merged to become the Oklahoma Chapter.
In 2001 Western Arkansas (Fort Smith) merged with OK as part of a Strategic Realignment Plan by National; thus we became known as “The Oklahoma and Arkansas Chapter”.

Our History
The former “Central Arkansas Chapter” soon disaffiliated with the National Alzheimer’s Association. NOTE: The former group is currently known as “Alzheimer’s Arkansas”, and is affiliated with the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
In mid-2002, our chapter opened the Central Arkansas (Little Rock) Regional Office.
We later opened an office in Bentonville known as the NW AR Regional Office.

Our History Our current budget is approximately $3.5+ million.
As of April 2013, the chapter has 32 employees, plus 1 PT employee and one vacancy.
Currently the Chapter Board membership stands at 47, including one member diagnosed with AD.
An Alumni Advisory Board was formed in 2005 because of the strong leadership base from Tulsa. Current membership stands at 15.

Our History – From the National
Perspective
Harry Johns has been President/CEO of the National Alzheimer’s Association since 2005. He was formerly with the American Cancer Society for 23 years.
![Page 10: 04 2013 new employee orientation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547c9dd6b4af9faa158b51cb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Shared Fundraising Model
In 2006, the Oklahoma and Arkansas Chapter became the first chapter nationwide to sign the Shared Fundraising Agreement with National—a model emphasizing cooperation, not competition.
![Page 11: 04 2013 new employee orientation](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061202/547c9dd6b4af9faa158b51cb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Shared FundraisingThe shared fundraising agreement was later adopted by 72 chapters.
The agreement resulted in incentives for the National organization to invest in Chapters. The unrestricted sharing formula for locally raised and unrestricted funds changed.
– 60% remains with chapter; – 30% goes to National; and – 10% Nationwide Mission
This effort strengthens our nationwide competitive advantage, pulling us together as an organization and accelerating progress toward our mission.
60% - Chapter
30% - National
10% - Nationwide mission

Strategic Plan The current national FY12-14 Strategic Plan (SP) approved by the
National Alzheimer’s Association was reviewed and approved by all chapters, which vote via the National Delegate Assembly. Plans are currently underway for the next SP as several work groups have been formed around the chapter network for this purpose.
Following approval of the National SP : – Chapter Board and Management Team reviews and determines
priorities for Chapter. – Management Team then works with direct reports in developing
individual work plans, with well- defined measurables.
· The staff work plans are part of the employee review process, which is reviewed quarterly, and becomes part of the annual performance evaluation.

Federal Legislative Priorities
Alzheimer’s a National Priority by: National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) – To set up a
project office and an advisory council for coordinating a true national plan for research and care/services. At least ten other countries have this kind of office and it is time the USA had as well. On January 4, 2011, President Obama signed NAPA into law, after it was unanimously passed in both the United States Senate and House of Representatives.
National Alzheimer’s Plan was released on February 22, 2012. View at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/daltcp/napa/NatlPlan.shtml

Federal Legislative Priorities
Make Alzheimer’s a National Priority, cont’d.HOPE – Health Outcome, Planning
and Education - focused on detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Less than half of people with AD are not diagnosed; only 19% have in their medical record. With other healthcare issues, AD is not always noted in their medical records and one of the reasons they may not get the treatment/drugs needed for Alzheimer’s. NOTE: This legislation was not passed by Congress prior to the end of the 112th Congress. Stay tuned for more information regarding new legislation or reintroduction of legislation in the 113th Congress.
Ambassador Program – Designed to enhance the Alzheimer’s Association’s federal government relations efforts through personal contact with targeted members of Congress by constituents capable of building relationships with decision-makers and their staff and holding them accountable to their commitments to fighting Alzheimer’s.
