Congratulations on this award but this is a wide open field and belongs not only to the recipient but to all influencers involved with AD. The standard for dementia caregivers belongs to Dr. Ethelle Lord of International Caregivers Association who has worldwide recognition and the award should be shared not only with Dr. Lord but all those who have worked so hard in this field.
HI Norman
Thank you for your comment. Personally, I do not feel we should lessen by any means the work of Mara Botonis who was the award winner. She has worked tirelessly and has touched hundreds of thousands dealing with dementia and caregiving with her insights and generous soul.
Yes, Dr Ethelle Lord and many, many others in our nation have worked very hard to shift our dementia care culture, but it is my belief this is not the time to diminish Mara’s work by highlighting others. Maybe in the years to come they will create a national category specific to honor all those overtime who have given so much of themselves to improve our Dementia and caregiving culture here in the US.
Again thank you for taking the time to write
