Reacting to her OBE, Kate Lee, said:
I’m honoured to be recognised in the New Year Honours List.
“I have been very lucky to spend my career leading amazing teams to deliver deep and meaningful impact for people who need support - including here at Alzheimer's Society.
“Every day dedicated colleagues are providing help and hope for the 900,000 people living with dementia across the UK.
This award is as much about their achievements as mine.
“Some of it has been tough but most of it has been unbelievably rewarding.
“This award is a lovely way to mark the success of all the incredible organisations I've worked with across a diverse and vibrant charity sector.”
