Show notes
Meet Roy Afflerbach, a huge advocate for Adult Day Services. Roy is the Public Policy Advisor for NADSA and formerly in the legislature in the state of Pennsylvania.    
Roy has always had an interest in politics. He started his career early when he was in high school, helping campaign for John F. Kennedy. He later continued his campaigning efforts for JFK's younger brother Bobby Kennedy.   
This is when Roy says he realized he could make a positive difference in people's lives through government. Roy learned about the key attributes of being a CAREpreneur through his work in politics - willpower, dedication, and willfulness. 
After serving over a decade in the Senate and House of Representatives (plus a short stent as mayor!) Roy opened his own consulting firm.  Roy's consulting firm is a public policy advocacy organization that focuses on serving non-profit organizations. 
After some years and through the power of networking Roy found NADSA. After his own personal experiences with dementia care Roy knew this organization could benefit from his help.  
Flash forward a few years and Roy has been able to help NADSA make tremendous strides in gaining government legislation and assistance for adult daycare services across the nation.   
Roy continues to show the United States what it means to be a CAREpreneur and continues to advocate for the senior care industry for many years to come. Thank you Roy for all that you do!
