APRIL 2024

Alzheimer’s Diagnosis Is Just Part Of The Picture Many Georgians know Georgia Memory Net helps people experiencing memory challenges or cognitive decline get an accelerated, accurate diagnosis for Alzheimer’s or related dementias. But there’s more to GMN’s services.

Georgia Memory Net also creates a personalized care plan for those diagnosed with dementia—a plan that can be shared with Primary Care Providers to help guide ongoing care. GMN also connects people diagnosed with dementia, and their care partners, with support organizations in their area so they can access the assistance they need and deserve.

Scan this code for caregiver training information.

The first step to access all this support is to schedule a conversation with a Primary Care Provider. Ask them if a referral to GMN is the right next step.

Taxpayers are meeting with accountants to review the past year and plan ahead for 2024. Charitable giving has become a popular topic as tax breaks from the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act sunset and many are seeing their tax bills increase.

Fiduciary EDGE Advisors’ team has a potential solution to help investors that‘s not just for the ultra-wealthy: establish your own charitable foundation and a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) to align with your goals.

We can work directly with you and your tax advisor to help match the right solution with your goals. Risks of picking the wrong DAF include: 1. Limited or inadequate investment options.

2. Meeting required minimums.

3. Restrictions on types of assets held/gifted.

4. Ability to pass down to future generations.

5. Ability to gift to favorite charities.

6. Investment and transaction costs.

7. Financial stability of the DAF. 8. Fees may be high.

9. Technology and processes.

10. Limited service unless a donor’s account is very large.

The key tax benefit of a DAF is an immediate tax deduction. For instance, perhaps you acquired a high value asset from an inheritance or sold an appreciated property or business and are concerned that it will cause you to move into a higher tax bracket. The immediate tax deduction of a DAF may help lower taxes the same year, while also providing the flexibility to direct your contributions to the charities as you wish later when you have time to reflect and research. Reach out to learn more.

gpb next magazine

Dear Friends, Welcome to the April 2024 issue of GPB Next. By now, spring is beginning to show its life-giving colors across the state of Georgia; and likewise, GPB is showering you with colorful life-changing programming. As we have been doing intentional research on our audiences and looking internally to focus on bringing YOU the very best experience from the work we produce and distribute here at GPB, one thing always remains true – there is so much!

That’s why, in GPB Next each month we try to highlight each part of the company so you can see the multifaceted work that GPB is doing in communities across the state every day.

From our vital education programs for K-12 students to our thought-provoking community engagement opportunities to your favorite programs from NOVA, Nature or MASTERPIECE, GPB has something for everyone.

And, that’s part of what we’re working through now. Georgia is so dynamic – its people, its varying geographic locations – a spectrum extending from generations-long residents of the North Georgia Mountains or the South Georgia plains to the new transplants finding their way into the bustling city of Atlanta. Every day, our focus must be sharp in serving all of you. You come to public media to be challenged and to learn something new. But you also come for better awareness of your surroundings and a healthy dose of nostalgia. I’m excited to see the future of our company shaping up with a clear and concise focus on serving you – whoever you are.

This month in the magazine, we’ll celebrate Earth Month with programming tailored to highlight and inform such as Saving the Chattahoochee: The Story of the Women Who Defended the River, a fascinating documentary from Hal Jacobs. We’ll also relish the joy of childhood with a look at the library event introducing the new PBS KIDS series Lyla in the Loop, remember a recent donor event with public television and radio icon Rick Steves and encourage you to interface with GPB to Tell Your Story. As always, so many exciting things, and something for everyone.

Warmly,

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President and CEO

Five Reasons Caregivers Should Participate In The Savvy Caregiver Program with Dr. Kenneth Hepburn

Georgia Memory Net offers free Savvy Caregiver® training for people who help care for loved ones with dementia. Dr. Kenneth Hepburn, GMN’s Community Services Education Core, shares why it matters.

It Helps: The program shares practical ways to guide the person living with dementia through days that are as safe, calm, and pleasant as possible.

It's Person-Centered: Savvy Caregiver teaches that personhood persists, and engagement is possible at every stage of dementia.

It's Proven: Research shows that taking part in the program strengthens the ability to provide care and reduce stress.

It Supports Care Partners: Caregivers—to be blunt—can be terrible at taking care of themselves. Savvy Caregiver emphasizes the importance of self-care.

The Price is Right: There is no charge for the course!

GPB RADIO Pamela Kirkland Joins GPB as the Host of Morning Edition

A

ward-winning journalist Pamela Kirkland has joined GPB as the local host of Morning Edition.

With an extensive background in radio, television and podcasting, Pamela’s career has taken her nationwide, covering four presidential campaigns, Congress and the White House.

Her experience includes producing for PBS NewsHour, where she reported on critical issues such as the opioid crisis, immigration and education. In addition, Pamela served as a field producer for CNN, and she has worked on podcasts including Reveal, from the Center for Investigative Reporting, and 70 Million, which explores issues within the criminal justice system.

“I’ve been on the air for just about a month and I love being able to celebrate the stories of Georgia each morning,” said Pamela. “I’ve already had a chance to speak with amazing people working to better the communities we live in and shine a light on issues that are important to Georgians. We also manage to have a little bit of fun, talking about some of the lighter news happening around the state.”

In addition to her work on Morning Edition, Pamela will also contribute to other GPB News content, including the Battleground: Ballot Box podcast.

“Looking ahead, I hope to continue having these important conversations and amplify the voices that don’t get as much attention,” Pamela added. “I look forward to opportunities to work directly in the community, and hope listeners tune in!”
