MACo invites you to save the date of our Substance Abuse Summit – June 12, 2014 from 9:30 am – 3:30 pm at Cecil College in Cecil County, MD. This event is FREE for MACo members (Maryland county elected/appointed officials and county staff). Nonmembers may attend for a fee of $55. Lunch will be included.

Substance abuse – for both prescription and non-prescription drugs – has escalated in Maryland, triggering alarm from all parts of the state. Counties are working to curb this epidemic – with responses from within their own jurisdictions and at the state level. Addressing the prevention, identification, treatment, and community ramifications of substance abuse requires collaboration among many different departments – executive, administrative, public safety, law enforcement, health, and social services, along with many others, are all in the mix and all are needed as part of effective solutions.  Join us on June 12 for panel discussions, expert presentations, and audience-wide discussions about this important issue.

More details will follow, including session and speaker details. If you’re ready to register now and save your seat, please register online through MACo’s website.
