10th Annual National Leadership Conference Includes a Parallel National Youth Track!
At last year’s National Leadership Conference (NLC) over 270 youth - representing 27 States and over 60 youth agencies and coalitions participated in the youth track. For the Conference’s 10th Anniversary, youth 15-18 years old are again invited to share their experiences and resources and learn from each other.
The youth track will provide youth an opportunity to learn more about effective strategies, hear motivating speakers, engage in team building activities and develop action plans for their communities for the year ahead. In response to your feedback, expect more interactive activities and networking opportunities! The NLC’s Youth track recognizes the current leadership achievements of our Nation’s youth and nurtures that leadership potential for the future!

Success Story: South Carolina's Alcohol Enforcement Team (AET) model show impressive results!
South Carolina's Alcohol Enforcement Team (AET) model has grown from a couple of local successes to statewide coverage! AETs are local multi-jurisdictional partnerships that use best practice enforcement to reduce underage drinking. In 2007, the AET’s success resulted in the state allocating $1.6 million to create an AET in each of the State's 16 judicial circuits, providing more rigorous and consistent enforcement of underage drinking laws. Each circuit developed a plan to use their funding to hire a coordinator, pay officer overtime, seek training from Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center and local experts, and purchase needed equipment. This month's Success Story shares the effectiveness of collaborative partnerships and comprehensive strategies.
