    Loretta Woodward Veney

    Motivational Speaker

    Loretta Veney is a thirty-five year security management professional who spent the first fifteen years of her career managing security personnel before starting her own training company offering topics including security management and operations, leadership, conflict resolution and communication skills.

    In 2006 when Loretta's Mom Doris was diagnosed with dementia, Loretta began learning everything she could about the disease and hoped to share that information so others could be more prepared for this devastating diagnosis than she had been. In 2013, that hope turned into Loretta's first book, Being My Mom's Mom, which highlights the first six years of the family's dementia journey. Loretta had the unwavering support of her husband Tim who did everything possible to be of help to Doris along this journey, and together they were Team Veney!

    By the middle of 2013 Loretta began receiving requests for presentations on her caregiver experience, and since that time she has given more than 275 presentations and keynote addresses.
