Building Stronger Prevention Efforts: Insights from the CADCA National Leadership Forum

Feb 6, 2025

Coalition coordinators Oscar Suarez and Julie Schillreff attended the 35th annual CADCA National Leadership Forum in Washington, DC, from February 3rd to 6th, where they

• explored the latest research on cannabis,

• learned culturally relevant prevention strategies for Native and Latine populations,

• gained insights on enhancing volunteer recruitment, and

• discovered strategies for navigating political and social polarization in coalition work.

They look forward to applying these insights to strengthen local prevention efforts and expand community impact.
