Our History The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980. Tulsa was

known as the Tulsa Green Country Chapter – just one of 203 chapters nationwide over the next decade.

In 1996, the OKC and Tulsa Green Country Chapters merged to

become “The Oklahoma Chapter”.

Then, through a national realignment plan in 2001, many of the over 200 chapters merged through a National realignment plan. It was during this time that Oklahoma merged with Arkansas to become: “The Oklahoma and Arkansas Chapter, Inc.”

For over 12 years, we remained a two-state chapter with 5 offices.

Our History

On June 30, 2013, the Board of Directors voted to separate the Arkansas operations in an effort to better serve the overall mission of the Association. Arkansas became a separate chapter under the National Alzheimer’s Association: “The Arkansas Chapter”.

Return to a one-state Chapter

Effective July 1, 2013We once again became a single state chapter:

“The Oklahoma Chapter”

Proudly celebrating30 years of service to Oklahoma

families!

Our Chapter’s History Our current budget is slightly in excess of $3.5

million.

The chapter’s headquarters are in Tulsa, with an office in Oklahoma City and an outreach office opened in Lawton in January 2014. Another outreach office is planned in Enid later this year.

Currently there are 21 FT and 2 PT employees.

Our Board Current Chapter Board membership stands at 27.

Our Advisory Board was formed in 2005 as a result of strong leadership of Chapter board members whose terms were expiring. In an effort to retain their valued leadership, vision and commitment to our cause, the Alumni Advisory Board was created.

As chapter board member’s terms expire, they are considered for the Advisory Board as determined by the G&N Committee. Current membership stands at 18.

Our History – the National Perspective

The Alzheimer's Association® is the world’s leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s disease care and support and the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer’s disease research. It was founded by leading Chicago businessman Jerome H. Stone and representatives from several families who had met with the National Institute on Aging to explore the value of a nonprofit organization to complement federal efforts surrounding Alzheimer’s disease. That meeting resulted in the formation of the Alzheimer’s Association in 1980 with Mr. Stone as president.

Our History – the National Perspective

Today the Alzheimer’s Association includes more than eighty chapters across America and national offices in Chicago and Washington, D.C. Its mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Its vision is A World Without Alzheimer’s Disease®.

Our History – From the National

Perspective

Harry Johns became President/CEO of the National Alzheimer’s Association in 2006.

He formerly served the American Cancer Society for 23 years.

Shared Fundraising Model

In 2006, National developed a shared fundraising model in an effort to emphasize cooperation, not competition throughout the network.

Our chapter was the first nationwide to enter the Shared Fundraising agreement with the National office.

Over the next several years, as this model became a best practice, other chapters also joined. While some chapters elected not to join and thus are no longer part of the National Association, we currently have a total of 80 chapters nationwide.

Shared FundraisingSF incentivizes the National organization to invest in Chapters and allows for an unrestricted sharing formula of locally raised and unrestricted funds, as follows:

– 60% remains with chapter; – 30% goes to National; and – 10% Nationwide Mission

This effort has strengthened our nationwide competitive advantage, pulled us together as an organization and accelerated progress toward our mission.

60% - Chapter

30% - National

10% - Nationwide mission

New Chapter Leadership 2010

Following the retirement of longtime chapter President/CEO, Judi Ver Hoef, Mark Fried was promoted to this position effective July 1, 2010.

Mark joined the Association in 2005 as regional director in the OKC office and was later moved to EVP.

Strategic Plan This is a collaboratively developed plan developed for all parts of the

Alzheimer's Association and includes the overarching Association-wide strategic objectives and priority activities on which each part of the organization and all staff are monitored and measured during the years of the plan.

The Oklahoma Chapter will meet with National staff member, Jim Wilgus on April 16 for an overview of the new Plan and determine the Oklahoma Chapter’s priorities as it relates to the SP.

Staff measurable(s) will be determined for the coming fiscal year and will be reviewed quarterly as employees meet with supervisors to measure success in their given goals.
