Join us on April 24th to celebrate the people making a difference in the field of substance use in our community. The Spring Awards Luncheon has been an annual event since 1975, ten years after the agency came to be. The event is held each April, which is the annual Alcohol and Drug Awareness month.
This luncheon is an opportunity for substance use and other professionals to come together, network, and honor a few of their own. This is important because so many who toil in this field remain unsung heroes who pour their heart and soul into the work they do with little compensation or recognition.
Do you know someone who deserves recognition for exemplary work in the field of alcohol and drug misuse? If so, nominate them for the 2026 Helen B. Madden Award!
