Schreiber as guest to the show.<\/p>\n<p>Former Wisconsin Gov. Martin J. Schreiber is an award-winning crusader for Alzheimer\u2019s caregivers and persons with dementia. Reaching audiences nationwide at live events and through various forms of media, Marty uses humor and compassion as he shares lessons from his ongoing, decade-plus journey as caregiver. <\/p>\n<p>His speaking tour takes him to conferences, civic organizations, senior communities, libraries and more around the country. He has given more than 300 presentations since launching his awareness campaign in late 2016. Whether in Texas, Idaho, New York, Missouri, Florida, Ohio  or closer to home, caregivers tell Marty that his message gives them encouragement and hope that they can manage their challenging situation.<\/p>\n<p>Marty\u2019s book, My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer\u2019s Caregiver, is winning acclaim from caregivers across the country. It was rated as the No. 11 \u201cBest Alzheimer\u2019s Book of All Time\u201d by bookauthority.org, and was named to Caring.com\u2019s list of \u201cBest Caregiving Books\u201d of both 2017 and 2018. <\/p>\n<p>Now in its fourth print edition, My Two Elaines also has been released as an e-book, an audiobook and on CD. Net proceeds are used to promote Alzheimer\u2019s caregiver support.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to writing My Two Elaines \u2013 and while still caring for his wife at home \u2013 Marty helped the Alzheimer\u2019s Association launch Operation: Stronger Together in 2015. This multi-year awareness program has helped the Southeastern Wisconsin Chapter connect record numbers of families to education and resources that are vital to successful caregiving. <\/p>\n<p>He also collaborated with Wisconsin state government and various business groups to help create the online Dementia-Friendly Employers Toolkit, which is now used by human resources departments and employee assistance programs. These initiatives have led to Marty being recognized with awards from the Alzheimer\u2019s Association and other organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Marty\u2019s work on behalf of older citizens goes back decades to his 16 years in public service as a state senator, lieutenant governor and governor focusing on elderly concerns, improved quality of nursing home care, and development of the in-home Community Care Organization. He went on to become a successful insurance executive and publisher before starting his own government relations firm in 1988.<\/p>\n<p>He attended Valparaiso University in Indiana and the University of Wisconsin \u2013 Milwaukee, and earned a doctorate of law from Marquette University in Milwaukee.<\/p>\n<p>Marty and his wife Elaine, who died in 2022, are the parents of four children, Kathryn Lyon, Martin Schreiber, Kristine Haas and Matt Schreiber. They have thirteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Wisconsin Governor Martin J.
