The Alzheimer’s Association is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the fourth annual State Dementia Services Coordinator (DSC) Summit in Washington, D.C., October 29-30, 2025.

The State DSC Summit is a vital networking and learning experience for state agency officials in the uniquely defined role of developing, supporting, and implementing dementia-specific policies across state agencies. It is an opportunity for agency officials to collaborate and discuss solutions to better support the nearly seven million Americans living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. The Summit will highlight challenges and showcase innovative approaches for addressing the needs of this distinct and growing constituency and serve as a forum for officials to ask questions, build professional connections, and share their experiences with their peers in other states.  

The two-day summit is an invitation-only event for state officials meeting established criteria. Due to budget and space constraints, each state is limited to one invited agency official, and invitations are non-transferable. If your state has additional eligible staff and wishes to send a second participant at the state’s expense, we may accommodate this request based on availability. Please submit your request as soon as possible. 

This event is sponsored by the Alzheimer's Association. The Alzheimer's Association is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The Alzheimer’s Association will directly support travel and lodging costs for invited state officials, where allowable. Other travel-related expenses, including ground transportation and meals, may be reimbursable by the Association in accordance with federal GSA per diem rates. State agency staff who request travel assistance are responsible for seeking any internal approvals needed within their agencies and in accordance with state laws and requirements. Note – the Alzheimer's Association may be a registered lobbyist employer in your state. 

Additional information summarizing covered expenses for state officials is available here.
