Register Now! Building and Sustaining Statewide Initiatives for Effective Alcohol Prevention Webinar
Statewide initiatives (SWIs), or statewide coalitions, are concerted efforts by institutions of higher education, community organizations, and government officials in a state to change aspects of the campus and community environment that contribute to high-risk alcohol use. This approach is especially effective in limiting alcohol availability; increasing enforcement of local, state, and federal laws; and restricting alcohol marketing and promotion.
This Webinar will highlight lessons learned and best practices from successful SWIs.
Date: Tuesday, May 17, 2011
Time: 1:00-2:30 p.m. Eastern Time
Please visit the Center's Web site for more information about this Webinar and to register.
