Survey Results (Roxanne Schreder)

 

Meeting Logistics Survey

SUP Strategic Plan

 

Revised Objectives

The Executive Board met and reviewed proposed changes to the Strategic Plan.

 

Note: The Strategic Plan addresses our target substances with long-term, intermediate, and short-term objectives to ensure we are making an impact on youth substance use in our community.  

 

Rox handed out the revised plan to all members. Discussion was had about the future focus for the coalition. Concerns about marijuana were mentioned due to recent incidents on social media. The coalition and Big Lake Police Department’s Facebook pages have received numerous negative comments on the misperceptions of marijuana video. Will need to work on obtaining community support through education and awareness.

 

Other Business

• Sheriff Brott recommended presenting the Annual Report to the County Board. He will look into the May 2 meeting. Coalition members are welcome to attend. There are three new board members this year. Angie suggested doing the city council meetings as well.
