Kristine currently holds a joint position with the WAI and the University of Wisconsin Foundation. In her role, Kristine works closely with the Institute’s Director and entire WAI team to build public awareness of and raise private support for the Institute’s mission to prevent Alzheimer’s disease, while caring for those living with the disease today. In representing the WAI, it is an honor for Kristine to work with individuals, foundations and organizations interested in making a philanthropic difference in the lives of those impacted by Alzheimer’s disease – and her greatest joy to recognize and honor them for their selfless commitment to helping others.
