WASHINGTON, D.C. — David Schless, president of the American Seniors Housing Association (ASHA), has received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Alzheimer’s Association.
Schless will be honored at the association’s 2026 Vision Gala on May 8 in Washington, D.C. at the Grand Hyatt Washington hotel. The gala is being hosted by the National Capital Area chapter of the association.
“Dave has been a longtime supporter of the Alzheimer’s Association, a steadfast champion of our cause, and an advocate for people and families facing Alzheimer’s and dementia,” says Joanne Pike, president and CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association. “Since 2014, ASHA members have raised more than $51 million to support the Alzheimer’s Association efforts to accelerate Alzheimer’s and dementia research, drive risk reduction and early detection and maximize quality care and support.”
“One of the great privileges of my professional life has been the opportunity to work side by side with ASHA members to raise awareness and funds to support the outstanding, multifaceted efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association,” says Schless.
