Dear Friends,

I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Tom Molony and I am the new Communications Director for the Greater Illinois Chapter. Though I began only two short weeks ago, I know that the GIC and its constituents are going to provide me with amazing experiences each and every day from here on forward.

I came to the Chapter after four years as the Director of School Communications at Saint Ignatius College Prep in Chicago. Before that I worked for three years at an oral health association serving the communications needs of industry professionals, so not-for-profit public relations, publications and marketing is what I do best.

What attracted me to the GIC was its mission; to be involved with what I have found to be such a passionate group of professionals, families and friends who tirelessly seek to best serve those directly affected by this disease was an opportunity I could not pass by in good faith. I feel strongly that it is my responsibility to offer what skills I have developed for the greater good and to assist in ridding future generations of this disease. I am extremely excited for the opportunities that lay ahead of me as I work alongside of all of you to realize our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s disease.

Please enjoy this issue of the e-newsletter and don’t be shy about voicing your thoughts and opinions. You play a vital role in everything we do here and are an integral part of our continued success.

I am very happy to be a part of the Alzheimer’s Association – Greater Illinois Chapter and I do look forward to meeting each one of you to create awareness and action and to combat Alzheimer’s disease throughout Illinois.

Tom Molony
Director, Communications
