It’s not too late to register for CADCA’s 22nd Annual National Leadership Forum, Feb. 6-9 at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center – or “CADCA,” as it is often referred to. If you didn’t get a chance to pre-register online, you can still do so on-site.

Through the Ambassador Program CADCA helps cultivate young professionals across the country for success by providing them the training and tools they need in their careers to become coalitions leaders in the future. At the 22nd Annual National Leadership Forum, held Feb. 6-9 at the Gaylord National Hotel & Convention Center in Maryland, CADCA will highlight the accomplishments of its current Ambassadors and begin to recruit enthusiastic coalition leaders for its third cohort.

Drug and alcohol problems have long been a problem in all corners of the nation's capital, from drug deals on street corners to binge drinking on college campuses -- even former first lady Betty Ford admitted to a long battle with drinking and painkiller addiction after she left 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. CADCA’s Chairman and CEO, Gen. Arthur Dean, and Vice-President of Development and Youth Programs, Kareemah Abdullah, were interviewed on these “local” trends as well as substance abuse issues affecting coalitions nationally in a radio interview on 89.3 WPFW, Pacifica Radio Network, Monday.
