Lived Experience Advisory Panel
The goal of the Lived Experience Advisory Panel (LEAP) is to center the voices of people living with dementia and the family members or friends who support them in the work of the Michigan Alzheimer’s Disease Center, ensuring that those who can speak effectively to the needs and priorities of their communities have a key role in guiding the center’s programs, events, and research activities.
