Strategic Planning Process February 2009 – An agreement on basic beginning
assumptions: • This is a critical historical opportunity in time
especially with the national attention focused on substance abuse in Appalachia.
• It is strategic to take this issue on as a region and work to speak with one voice rather than on an individual agency or jurisdiction basis
• It is important to operate from the collaborative standpoints of policy, data and advocacy because being unified can make difference.
