professor, a researcher and educator for the Alzheimer’s Association, and a personal
Alzheimer's journey as her mother’s caregiver. While programs on memory loss and
Alzheimer’s disease may not sound like crowd pleasers, audiences consistently tell a different
story. They delight in Lucie’s infectious enthusiasm and sense of humor, and give her talks
outstanding reviews: “Fantastic speaker,” “Wonderful enthusiasm, energy, warmth,” “Great,
informative, funny,” “Top notch presentation,” “Best speaker of all.” Whether she is
