Join us for a new focus in 2020 on building a core group of grassroots advocates in our area, addressing policy issues and meeting directly with key stakeholders on opioid issues. The workgroup is broadening their scope to substance abuse disorder to better reflect the realities of the opioid crisis.  

Throughout 2019, a group of foundation staff worked together with the goal of understanding how to most effectively respond to the opioid crisis in our region. The group’s learning was guided by consultant, Wayne Jones who compiled a report which included both policy and programmatic recommendations for foundation involvement in the opioid space in the future. Join us for this continued and expanded focus on substance use disorders in our region as we discuss working models and programs that can potentially be replicated in our community and/or grantmaking strategy. 

This will be a brown-bag session, so please feel free to bring a lunch. Drinks and desserts will be provided.
