Save the Date for the 11th Annual Fundraising Breakfast!
Thursday, April 24, 2025 7:30 – 9:00am Mendakota Country Club
Join us for an engaging morning of delicious food, meaningful connections, and inspiring conversations. This year’s Breakfast will be especially memorable as we celebrate Ann’s leadership in her final event as DARTS President. Registration is free – come learn, network, and be a part of a community that enriches aging.
Ann Bailey has been President of DARTS since 2015, following five years of service on DARTS Board of Directors. Her connection to DARTS began when her father’s Alzheimer’s disease progressed, and she saw firsthand the impact of caregiver support services.
As she prepares to retire after a decade of leadership, Ann remains a dedicated advocate for aging and caregiver services. She serves on the board of the Minnesota Leadership Council on Aging and shares her expertise with groups including Dakota County Disability Advisory Council, University of Minnesota 10,000 Family Studies, and Fairview Ridges Healthy Communities. In 2024, she was honored with the Legacy Award from the Dakota County Regional Chamber in recognition of her impact.
Ann and her husband, Randy, live in Apple Valley and engage in community-building initiatives. In her free time, she enjoys traveling – and two trips per year are states drawn at random – along with cooking and tending to a small garden that provides fresh ingredients.
