ALABAMA SUMMIT
Montgomery, Alabama
The Alabama Summit was held in January, 2001, and was sponsored by the National Alliance for Model State Drug Laws and coordinated locally by the Council on Substance Abuse-NCADD, (COSA-NCADD). The coordination of COSA-NCADD’s existing state-wide coalitions ensured the success of this conference. Over 500 participants from across the state, representing state and local government, education, the judicial system, the medical community, the clergy, law enforcement, business and substance abuse prevention/treatment, joined teens of the Alliance Counteracting Alcohol and Tobacco Advertising Targeting Youth (ACATA) Advisory Board in hands-on workshops which will make recommendations for drug policy, legislation, coordination of efforts, programmatic changes and funding.
