DRCNet is pleased to announce that the above-mentioned Dr. David Hadorn,
from Aotearoa, New Zealand, has joined DRCNet's Board of Advisors. Referring
to his phenomenally successful paper, David wrote, "We could not have
put this paper together without the resources made available through DRCNet
and those of you who participate."
Meanwhile, another member of our Board of Advisors has resigned, but
for the best of reasons. Sher Horosko, formerly the head of Substance Abuse
Services for the State of Connecticut, more recently a private consultant,
has assumed the position of Executive Director at the Drug Policy Foundation.
Because DRCNet receives much of its financial support from the DPF grants
program, Sher has had to leave DRCNet's board in order to avoid any possible
conflicts of interest. While we've lost a board member, we will actually
be working much more closely with her as a grantee, tenant and partner
organization of DPF. Thanks to Sher for her 2 1/2 years on our board. (Please
let us know if you hear of any former state substance abuse officials who
might be interested in joining our board.)
