Web header for Women's Leadership Luncheon 2025. Purple and blue illustration of the elephant and forget me knot flowers.

Our 2025 Women’s Leadership Luncheon theme, The Nun Study: Transforming the Future of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Related Dementias, will provide attendees with information on research trends, disease prevention, treatment options and a hope for a better future.

The Luncheons will be held in Chicago, Dallas, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Minn., and St. Louis. Our keynote speakers are Dr. Margaret Flanagan and Dr. Sudha Seshadri, researchers currently working with the Nun Study, Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative diseases.

To learn more about the Nun Study from Sister Charlene Zeisset, please view our #GivingTuesday video.

Alzheimer’s and other related dementias create a devastating experience for all. Yet, memory loss only wins when we stop courageously fighting to finally find a cure and a better future.

Design description:
In this year’s Women’s Leadership Luncheon design, three elements work together to represent our theme of The Nun Study: Transforming the Future of Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Related Dementias. The elephant represents the optimism and hope for discovering a cure and slowing the advancement of Alzheimer’s and related dementia because “an elephant never forgets.” The forget-me-not flowers represent memory loss, one of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Purple is the official color of the Alzheimer’s movement since its combination of blue and red represent calmness and passion, which are the hallmark characteristics of caregivers and those living with the disease.
