Bio: Business Executive. Starting as a young entrepreneur from the age of 18, and having launched several start-up businesses in the security industry, Mr. Jameson carried on his career as a sales and marketing executive, which has included over 35 years with major corporate divisions of ADT, BOSCH, and Honeywell International.

Liz Zadnik
The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD)
Bio: Liz is an AFTD Ambassador in order to be of service to others, a core value learned from her mom (diagnosed with FTD), who believed each of us possesses inherent worth and deserves kindness. While FTD robbed the world of this positive force for good, her legacy of compassion guides Liz as a volunteer and professional. She hopes serving as an Ambassador will be a chance to meaningfully contribute to AFTD's mission of creating a world where families, care partners, and persons living with FTD can receive quality care and engage with their communities, while working toward a day when we #endFTD.
