Former Wisconsin Gov. Martin J. Schreiber is an award-winning crusader for Alzheimer’s caregivers and persons with dementia. Reaching audiences nationwide at live events and through various forms of media, Marty incorporates humor and compassion as he shares lessons from his decade-plus journey as a caregiver.
Net proceeds from his acclaimed book, My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer’s Caregiver, are used to promote Alzheimer’s caregiver support.
Prior to writing My Two Elaines – and while still caring for his wife at home – Marty collaborated with Wisconsin state government and various business groups to help create the online Dementia-Friendly Employers Toolkit. Since its launch in 2015, the toolkit has become an important resource for human resources and employee assistance programs.
Schreiber further committed significant resources, both financial and personal, to help the Alzheimer’s Association launch Operation: Stronger Together in 2015. This awareness program has helped the Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter connect record numbers of families to education and resources that are vital to successful caregiving. This and other initiatives have led to Marty being recognized with awards from the Alzheimer’s Association and other organizations.
Marty’s work on behalf of seniors goes back decades to his 16 years in public service as a state senator, lieutenant governor and governor when he focused on elder concerns, nursing home care, and development of the in-home Community Care Organization. Moving into the private sector, Marty became a successful insurance executive and publisher before starting his own government relations firm, Martin Schreiber & Associates Inc., (now Schreiber Government Relations Group) in 1988.
Marty attended Valparaiso University and the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee and earned a doctorate of law from Marquette University. He and his wife Elaine are the parents of four children, Kathryn Lyon, Martin Schreiber, Kristine Haas and Matt Schreiber. They have thirteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
This is the first book by Marty, who lives in Milwaukee.
