Join the LBDA Volunteer Team! Our Volunteer Team is made up of volunteers throughout the country who give their time and expertise to help support the fight against Lewy body dementias. LBD affects one in 199 people in the United States which means that 1.5 million people living with LBD need your help! As an LBDA Volunteer you can facilitate a support group, provide a one-on-one connection with someone seeking help and information, distribute educational materials within your own community and much more. Many LBDA Volunteer opportunities are virtual and require only that you have access to telephone and internet service.

LBDA 2007 Volunteer of the Year
Helen Whitworth from Mesa, Arizona is the LBDA volunteer of the year for 2007. Helen joined LBDA in 2005 when she began exhibiting at medical conferences. In 2006, she took over writing volunteer job descriptions, supervising new volunteer applications, and developed a new volunteer orientation process. Under her supervision our volunteer ranks have nearly doubled and we are now more effectively engaging volunteers in our mission across the country. Helen continues to exhibit at medical conferences to help spread the word about LBD to physicians, and is currently the Outreach and Education Committee Chair. Thank you, Helen, for all that you do!
