Drue Banta is focused on working with Bay Area communities to unlock nonprofit solutions to today’s most pressing issues, including the myriad complications of navigating Alzheimer’s disease and all other forms of dementia.

After developing a passion for the nonprofit sector with United Way and the Boy Scouts of America one decade ago, Drue served as Development Director with the Alzheimer’s Association West Texas Chapter. Currently, he is the Senior Walk Director leading the nationwide #10 Walk to End Alzheimer’s – San Francisco for the Alzheimer’s Association’s Northern California & Northern Nevada Chapter.
