Coming from across the state, they represent programs focused on alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in community, school and post secondary education settings and from all levels: state substance abuse prevention programs, the public health system, the university system, school-based programs, and non-profit organizations that develop training and represent both prevention providers and professionals.
