Cobb Volunteers Headed to Washington

Volunteers with the Cobb Alcohol Taskforce will be attending a national leadership forum in Washington, DC for substance abuse prevention and treatment specialists.

Volunteers from the Cobb Alcohol Taskforce are joining nearly 3,000 substance abuse prevention and treatment specialists and advocates from throughout the country for the 22nd annual National Leadership Forum of the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) in Washington, DC on Feb. 6-9.

CADCA’s National Leadership Forum is the nation's largest training for substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals and researchers. Volunteers will have the opportunity to learn the latest strategies to prevent alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, taskforce volunteers as well as hear from leaders in the field.

“We are so excited to be able to spend a week in our nation’s Capital, learning and honing our prevention skills so our community can be a better place, one that doesn’t suffer from the harms of drug and alcohol abuse,” said Cathy Finck, Cobb Alcohol Taskforce Coordinator.
