Due to different circumstances, members of the European Working Group of People with Dementia (EWGPWD) did not have the opportunity to say farewell to Thomas Maurer, the group’s member from Switzerland, in person and to present him with his EWGPWD plaque. Instead, Director for Projects Dianne Gove and Project Officer Ana Diaz coordinated with members of the Swiss Association to send the plaque and a card signed by all members of the EWGPWD to the people in charge of the Swiss dementia working group.
Together with Dianne and Ana, Vice-Chairperson of the EWGPWD Chris Roberts was invited to join the final part of one of the regular meetings of the Swiss group, which was also attended by Thomas. Chris and Dianne thanked Thomas for his contribution to the EWGPWD, on behalf of the group and of Alzheimer Europe respectively. We wish Thomas all the best and thank him for his contributions to the group between 2018 and 2020.
