CADCA Advancing

Hello Everyone!

Well, nearly a year later, the West Virginia CADCA Association is on the right track. In that past 10 months, the Association assisted in advocating more money for the prevention field as a whole, partnered with the WV PRC to conduct two statewide coalition building trainings and provided a lot of information on how to successfully build your coalition.

I'm also pleased to say that the state logo that we've developed is now being used by CADCA as a model for other states to follow in how to properly brand state wide initiatives. We have gotten multiple calls on the progress of our group and I'm hopeful that we'll continue the good relationship that we have with others throughout the state.

If you need technical assistance, the Coalition Institute is ready to help FREE OF CHARGE! This is whether you are a CADCA member or not! It is a great resource to have for sure! Visit the CADCA website at www.cadca.org for more information.

I hope that all is well with each of you and encourage you to post to the site if you get the time. Just let me know how things are going locally and feel free to use this as a place to share stories and vent if needed.

Best regards to all and I wish you continued success in the fight against the problems with alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in your communities!
