"I am truly honored to be elected," says Bush, a cognitive aging specialist and visiting instructor at USF Polytechnic. "Individuals with mild cognitive impairment and dementia have influenced my life profoundly both professionally and personally. I have strong hope this new role will provide another avenue through which their voices may be heard.
