In Memoriam Marc Wortmann, 1959 - 2022

15/08/2022

We were very sad to learn of the sudden passing of Marc Wortmann, on 15 August, at the age of just 63. Mr Wortmann was Executive Director of Alzheimer Nederland from 2000 until 2006, during which time he co-organised the Alzheimer Europe Conference in Maastricht, in 2002. He then became CEO of Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI), from 2007-2017. He was a strong advocate for people living with dementia, as well as their families and carers/supporters. His commitment continued in recent years, through involvement in a number of projects, both at a national level in the Netherlands and at an international level. He was truly an integral part of the European and global Alzheimer’s family and we are deeply saddened by his passing. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his wife Corien, and to all of his family, friends and colleagues.
