	Biographical/Historical:	The Florida Legislature created the Department of Elder Affairs (DEA) in 1991 to take over the powers, duties and functions of the Florida Commission on Aging (Laws of Florida, Chapter 91-115). The DEA's mission is to maximize opportunities for self-sufficiency and personal independence of Florida's elders and to plan, advocate, coordinate with other agencies, and administer programs and policies that assure accessible, responsive and comprehensive services and long-term care. The Department coordinates several federally and state-funded programs directed at the senior population and is advised by a 17 member Elder Affairs Advisory Committee appointed by the Governor. The Department consists of five offices: Office of the Secretary, Division of Programs, Division of Management Information Systems, Division of Administration, and Office of Volunteer and Community Services. One of the programs that the Department's Division of Programs coordinates is the Alzheimer's Disease Initiative, which provides services and training to address the special needs of individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease and related memory disorders, as well as the needs of their caregivers. The program sponsors memory disorder clinics, research projects, respite services for caregivers and the Florida Brain Bank. The Alzheimer's Disease Advisory Committee oversees the Initiative and advises the Department of Elder Affairs regarding legislative, programmatic, and administrative matters that relate to Alzheimer's disease victims and their caretakers.
	Summary:	This series contains committee and subcommittee meeting minutes, meeting tapes and supplemental records including program reports, correspondence, newsletters and other informational materials.
