President’s Message
It has been 12 years since these mission and vision
statements were forged. In 2010, I believe that we are
more effective, more focused and better prepared than
ever before to carry forward the mission and vision of
our association.

NAADAC has developed strategic partnerships, expanded our educational publications, developed our
leadership and won contracts to provide our staff’s expertise to various professional audiences. NAADAC
has worked more effectively with our resources and
­allies with exemplary results.
Working in concert with partners, we have expanded
our service delivery by contracting with the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) to provide training through NAADAC and
guidance for Certification development through the National Credentialing Commission (NCC). Partially as a
result of the support of SAMHSA, NAADAC was able
to host the first assembly of major credentialing bodies
last summer, and out of the efforts of the seven boards
in attendance, the Certification and Credentialing Organization (CACO) was created. The goal of this group is
to finally set a course for the standardization of national
credentials for addictions professionals.

Osborn, also chaired anCertification and Credentialing

group also generated a
suggested list of academic curricula for con­sideration
by institutions wishing to offer advanced studies in addictions. That initial report, with curricula and addendums, is available as a beginning discussion point for
academic institutions which already offer addictions
studies programs, as well as to institutions that may
wish to expand existing department efforts. In another
4 NAADAC 20 09 ANNUAL REPO RT
effort, Osborn co-chaired a meeting with the International Coalition for Addictions Studies Educators (INCASE) which resulted in an agreement to join forces on
the processes used to accredit addictions studies programs in academic institutions. INCASE brought their
materials and professional experience to merge with the
credentialing experience of the NCC and the new organization will be an independent body conducting accreditation by the end of 2010.
Through a contract with the International Narcotics and
Law Enforcement Affairs Bureau (INL), publications
and training were produced for professionals in Thailand and Kenya. NAADAC plans to use these resources
to create an enduring educational resource available
to professionals overseas and in the United States.
Our Life­long Learning series publications are a beautiful representation of high quality resources for the
addic­tion treatment community. In our collaborative
work with the Hazelden Foundation, the Co-occurring
Dis­orders project is continuing to have an impact with
the support of Mary Woods, RNC, LADC, MSHS,
NAADAC’s former President.
NAADAC has partnered with Reckitt Benckiser, Alkermes and Forest Labs as a decisive step forward to help
addiction professionals remain current with the latest
scientific information and to translate science into service. Additionally, we have collaborated with the Addiction Technology and Transfer Centers (ATTCs), to
promote their products and resources to counselors,
educators, providers and the general public.
Affiliate leaders and regional Vice Presidents all are
fami­liar with Diana Kamp, our Director of Affiliate Relations and Conferences, who coordinates and supports
regional and state level communications and leadership
training. Donovan Kuehn, our Director of Operations
and Outreach, has the formidable job of publications
development as well as website support. He is the winner of the Rising Star Scholarship from the Angerosa
Research Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to conduct industry research to benefit the association publishing and marketing professions, and he
manages the editing of every publication, promotions,
press releases and the special project needs of the Executive Committee and Committee Chairs. Angela
Beckett coordinates our Recovery Month efforts and
held the first webinar on Recovery Month. Recovery
Month is yet another partnership with SAMHSA that
has been invaluable to many around this country in the
efforts to celebrate recovery and reduce stigma.
With Shirley Beckett Mikell leading the Certification
Department, we have continued to offer the highest
quality of standards of certification for those eligible
professionals who have demonstrated exceptional capabilities. Now available online, certification testing has
been made convenient and affordable. Shirley’s expertise is in demand internationally, and her role in preparing the Certification Commission for efforts internally
and with other credentialing bodies demands diplomacy
and a commitment to bring to implement the high standards that we espouse.
The Government Relations department lost Daniel
Guarnera to law school, but he left a strong foundation
for our new GR Director, Christopher Campbell. We are
strongly committed to keeping addictions professionals
available in an advisory capacity for health care reform
and other government initiatives. Our Membership
Direc­tor, Donna Croy, continues to be the backbone of
membership management and assists in development
efforts, bringing her experience and creativity to the
planning of our association’s membership goals. Jeff
Crouse, our Director of Finance, continues to present
the finances in a detailed and understandable format,
and patiently explains to our Executive Board the intricacies of his records. Our commitment to financial
transparency serves us very well, and we can be proud
of the ethics and integrity of all our staff and our elected
leadership.
different states this year. With such talent at the helm, it
is with great pride that I and my Executive Committee
are able to serve at NAADAC. Together with Cynthia in
the spring of this year, the Executive Committee revisited the goals and commitments at NAADAC. Out of
the long list of tasks, functions and stated goals we were
able to reduce our efforts to four primary “pillars of performance.” These four areas encompass all that we do,
and reflect our Executive Committee’s belief that a
commitment to focus on education, advocacy, professional identity and professional services will strengthen
our profile within our own members and to those who
will join us in the future. I look forward to continuing to
serve NAADAC in leading addictions professionals to
their goals, with all the information and skills that they
will need. Thanks to all of you for your support, and to
Team NAADAC for a winning professional year.
In our interactions with the public, our call center receives thousands of calls per month. Latressa Cross,
Barbara Coleman and Angela Beckett all strive to ensure that every caller receives excellent customer service. From “hello” to “is there anything else?” our callers are treated as our number one priority. Our number
of visits online has also grown to well past 500,000, and
by the end of 2010, we may reach 1 million contacts.
In closing, I would be remiss if I did not comment upon
the remarkable contributions of our Executive Director,
Cynthia Moreno Tuohy. There seems to be no challenge
too daunting, no financial obstacle too difficult, no
problem at NAADAC too large or too small to receive
her thoughtful attention. Her work ethic is above reproach, her talents diverse and her ability to network
with other professional groups exemplary. She is hands
on leader who has offered training in at least a dozen

Four Point Execution

or

Recently I attended a training for administrators on the
“business rules” that instruct organizations and companies to not only survive, but thrive. One specific area of
the training focused on “Four Point Execution,” the four
areas that develop an organization from good to great.
These four points are: devise clearly defined and ­focused
strategies, maintain flawless operational execution, sustain a performance-oriented culture and build a fast,
flexible and flat structure.
I have applied these principles in assessing how the
NAADAC Executive Committee, Board of Directors
and the NAADAC staff met the Association’s 2009 department goals.
Devise Clearly Defined and Focused
Strategies
2009 strategies included:
•Develop diverse revenues while simultaneously reducing expenditures.
•Increase service levels in the areas of education providers, membership, affiliate relations, government
relations, product development and national certification.
•Revenue streams were diversified by adding new
contracts, partnerships and grants. Revenues were
increased by 31 percent and expenses were reduced
by seven percent.
•NAADAC evidenced increases in the education
provider by nine percent, from 286 in 2008 to 307 in
2009.
•NAADAC affiliates grew by three (Minnesota,
­Wyoming and American Samoa). We have new
­affiliates and merging affiliates growing in four
states as well (New Mexico, South Dakota, District
of Columbia and Alaska).
•Membership development continues to be a struggle
in this economic climate. NAADAC saw an overall
loss in 2009 of 12 percent. However, this is better
than expected, as the national mean for drop in individual membership is at 83 percent (Source: American Socity of Association Executives), while our
mean is at 88 percent.
•Government relations worked tirelessly to promote
parity with the GR liaisons and advocates, growing
in numbers and contacts to Congress.
6 NAADAC 20 09 ANNUAL REPO RT
•NAADAC saw a large increase in product development in the areas of co-occurring curriculum (one
manual under development in partnership with
­Hazelden with a September 2010 anticipated release
date, and an eight-part manual series in the Foundations of Addiction Practice that includes intake,
screening, evaluation, treatment planning, documentation, case management, continuing care and discharge planning, referral and ethics has an antici­
pated September 2010 release date).
•NCC saw a nine percent increase in those persons
either certified or recertified in 2009.
•NAADAC’s exposure through its website increased
47 percent in the year 2009.
•NAADAC has increased its partnerships at the private, public and governmental levels that have increased our outreach, services and viability.
•NAADAC has developed and moved forward at the
national level with Scopes of Practice and National
Addiction Education Standards that are in process of
key stakeholder review and future implementation.
Maintain Flawless Operation Execution
2009 operational strategies included:
•A comprehensive Accounting Manual with policies
and procedures was developed and available during
NAADAC’s audit process.
•NAADAC’s Director of Finance, Jeff Crouse, conducted a robust audit with the contracted audit firm,
enhancing the policies and procedures and evidencing high standards for accounting principles and
practices.
•The Administrative Center updated guidelines for
member information, product sales and other administrative guidelines. These guidelines were reinforced
by team meetings. The administrative team worked
to promote same day shipping and data entry.
•Donovan Kuehn continues to produce a quality
NAADAC News that has won the Apex Award
for Communication Excellence. The operation of
NAADAC’s center part in the Addiction Professional increased to 12 pages. A six-part series on opiate
medications was produced and edited by Donovan.
•Diana Kamp developed the “Affiliate Management
Arm” and began with one affiliate by integrating
data­bases and sending certification renewals. Partial
affiliate management for conference development
and marketing was also developed and implemented
for several states.
•Daniel Guarera led the NAADAC advocacy community as well as many others in the Washington,
D.C., area with reports and other papers for the fight
on parity and health reform.
•Misti Storie developed the pilot for the co-occurring
manual under the leadership of Mary Woods, project
lead.
•Under the leadership of Shirley Beckett Mikell, several states and organizations have contracted with
the NCC for its test product. Shirley has also led the
way on international negations for certification and
training in many different counties.
•Donna Croy has formulated recruitment of nonrenewing members and increased contact to membership through e-blasts created in the Media and
Outreach Department.
Through the leadership of NAADAC’s President, Patricia Greer, the Executive Committee and NAADAC’s
full Board of Directors, together with the NAADAC
staff, we strive to produce the most comprehensive and
effective services to our membership.
As you review the major accomplishments in the year
2009, how would you rate NAADAC? I would love to
hear from you on how we can continue to serve you in
2010 to meet those high ratings and make you feel
proud to belong to the largest addiction-focused membership organization in the world. Together we continue
to make a difference!
Sustain a Performance-Oriented Culture
In 2009, NAADAC promoted a performance-based culture by:
•Employees produce at a faster pace with more assignments to complete.
•Respecting the work of the NAADAC staff and
working to understand the limits of capacity.
•Honoring the achievements made through small
measures of reward. NAADAC was not able to increase staff salaries, however, were able to show
small praises through gift cards (birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas), occasional lunches and a
year-end holiday celebration.
•Recognizing that the employees are the heart of
NAADAC and their work and performance is the
key to communicating the mission of NAADAC.
The work environment has been challenging this
year, with more to do and less staff to do it with.
However, NAADAC staff members have risen to
this level of need and performance.
Build A Fast, Flexible and Flat Structure
In 2009 NAADAC promoted this point by:
•Holding all senior level staff accountable for redeveloping redundant organizational layers and reducing bureaucratic systems.
•Expecting staff to perform in accordance with the
Goals of the 2009 Executive Committee.
•Expecting the Executive Committee, led by the
Presi­dent Patricia Greer, to perform multiple tasks
and work together with the staff to accomplish the
goals set for 2009.
•Having each staff liaison assist the NAADAC Committees in order to complete the goals and objectives
set for each committee.

Four Pillars of NAADAC’s Future:
Blueprint for Success
The NAADAC Executive Committee has determined
its vision for NAADAC and the association’s role in
supporting its members and the profession. Four major
areas: “four pillars” of outreach were determined in
­order to strengthen and improve our association. These
pillars are:
•Professional Development
•Public Engagement
•Professional Services
•Communicate the Mission
Professional Development
•Education and training stand at the center of our
­efforts to ensure that both current professionals and
those that are new to the field are always prepared
to adopt the newest evidence based practices in their
work.
•Mentorship is essential to the continued growth of
our workforce.
•Professional standards are foundational in our devel­
opment of a professional career path for addiction
professionals. No other organization can represent
what the needs are for standards of professional
practice better than NAADAC can.
•Like all professions, The Association for Addictions
Professionals has defined a code of ethics for the
field. We will continue to protect the profession and
the public by holding our members to this high set of
professional standards.
•Our commitment to continue to grow the profession
will be bolstered by an increased outreach to students and new professionals.
•In furthering the above activities the Association
will work toward improving ­salary and benefits for
our members and for the profession at large.
Professional Services
•NAADAC products.
•Alliances and strategic partnerships.
•Resources for state affiliates.
•The NAADAC Education Provider program.
•Technical assistance and sharing expertise with
­other professions (including ­mental health, marriage
and family therapists, social workers or other groups
seeking assistance).
•Providing resources through the NAADAC Education and Research Foundation.
•The NAADAC speakers bureau.
Communicate the Mission of the
Organization
NAADAC needs to communicate this mission broadly:
to members, to partners and to other stakeholders. We
need to communicate with one voice. And we need to
base that broader set of messages on exceptionally good
communication between and among NAADAC’s members, leaders and staff.
With all that we intend to do, new efforts and continuing
efforts, we recognize that ­effective financial and administrative management are essential to NAADAC’s foundation. We view your dues as an investment in your association as well as your profession. As stewards of
these resources, we are committed to using this money
prudently on initiatives that benefit our members, our
association and the profession as a whole.

Years of Employment of NAADAC Members
in the Addiction-Focused Profession
NAADAC, Naadac Education and Research Foundation (NERF) and NAADAC PAC have turned the corner in 2009 from a rough 2008 financially.

According to our 2009 audit, the combined three entities had revenues of $2,632,532, expenses of $2,336,130
and unrestricted net assets of $296,402. After tempo­
rarily restricted entries were made by the auditors
Gelman, Rosenberg and Freedman, the change in net
assets was $(330,100). So while the year appears as a
loss due to paper entries, the actual operations (cash inflows and outflows) were a surplus of $296,402.
NAADAC was able to pay off a large outstanding debt
for the build-out of the NAADAC suite that was
$416,829. We used a Certificate of Deposit that was being held as collateral to pay off the loan. The CD was
earning less interest than the loan’s interest rate, so it
made good financial sense to liquidate the CD.

Operations and Outreach
Summary
Public Relations/Marketing
The Operations and Outreach department strives to support NAADAC members, and the profession as a whole,
in highlighting their accomplishments, building on current knowledge and practices and expanding opportunities for personal and professional growth. This support
is evidenced in many components.
Building NAADAC’s brand has been a continued focus
in 2009. Part of this process has been the development
of ads to be placed in trade and in-house media. Samples of the ads are included in this section.

NAADAC produces two publications, the award winning NAADAC News, which is produced internally, and
a 12-page Professional Insights insert into Addiction
Professional which is produced by Vendome. Addiction
Professional is produced as a hard copy and is mailed to
each of NAADAC’s members on a bi-monthly basis,
while the NAADAC News, also produced on a bimonthly basis, is distributed electronically and posted
online at NAADAC’s website, unless members have
requested a hard copy of the publication. Issues of the
NAADAC News are also mailed to members in areas
without affiliates to ensure that they remain in contact
with the association.
NAADAC issued 12 press releases in 2009, and
worked with trade media on distributing information
on ­NAADAC’s initiatives, educational events and advocacy work.
NAADAC Website
The NAADAC website continues to be an important
component of the public face of NAADAC and is a
strong source of information for addiction focused professionals.
As a part of the recertification process, addiction professionals need to earn continuing education (CE) credits
to remain certified in the profession. NAADAC has created a launching pad for free or low-cost resources for
members and other professionals to use, based on the
NAADAC website. These courses help demonstrate the
value of NAADAC membership and assist members in
their desire to remain up-to-date on issues facing the
profession.
Another component of the website is an online calendar
that highlights seminars and other events throughout the
nation and overseas. NAADAC affiliated state organizations, members of the NAADAC Education Provider
Program and Recovery Month Planning Partners have
the opportunity to add events to the NAADAC online
calendar.
The use of the NAADAC website continues to grow
with almost 660,000 distinct visits in 2009, a 47 percent
increase over 2008.
12 NAADAC 20 09 ANNUAL REPO RT
The NAADAC membership committee asked that one
of the membership ads be repurposed as a button to help
in membership recruitment efforts. Two buttons were
also developed as a low-cost promotional item at
­NAADAC Recovery Month events.
NAADAC also held an inaugural film series at its 2009
conference, Sowing the Seeds of Recovery, in Salt Lake
City. The film series featured Finding Hope in ­Recovery,
a documentary chronicling families facing addictions,
and Happy Valley, a film exploring addiction to prescription drugs and other substances in Utah communities and winner of the Breckenridge Film Festival grand
prize in 2007. Both films were open to the public to
build awareness of the important role of addiction treatment professionals and featured exclusive question and
answer sessions with the filmmakers.
In 2008, for the first time, marketing plans were developed in conjunction with all of the Association’s departments to help focus departmental efforts and set measurable goals for assessment. In 2009, the plans were
reviewed to reflect changes in departmental priorities.
Operations and Outreach also worked with the National
Certification Commission in developing its five-year
strategic marketing plan.
Buttons produced to promote
Recovery Month.

Certification and Education
Summary

Director of Education and
Certification
and
NAADAC Certification
Commission Staff Liaison

or

Mr. James Holder, MAC, LCSW, CAC II, was appointed the chairman of the NAADAC National Certification
Commission (NCC) in October of 2008. In his second
year as chair, he has made many strides in leading the
efforts of the NCC in developing strategic goals and
formalizing a marketing plan which will help move the
NCC into a more visible posture, nationally and internationally. The Commission is comprised of 13 members
who hold ­every level of credentials offered by the NCC
and are also members of NAADAC. Of the 13 members, one is a Public Member. This year, the public
member is a s­ ocial worker and advocate.
The NCC seeks new items to add to its item bank for its
three levels of credentials and Adolescent Specialist Endorsement. Members of the Commission develop questions for the Tobacco Specialist credential and all levels
of credentials and solicit support from counselors within their work environment and regions to facilitate this
effort. The NCC continues work on an Intervention
Specialist Endorsement and a Prevention credential.
Certification boards using the NCAC Level I and II
exam­inations include: American Samoa, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, the District of Columbia, Georgia,
Kansas, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico,
South Carolina, Tennessee, the Commonwealth of Virginia, Washington, Wyoming, the Breining Institute and
CAARR Institute (based in California), the Northwest
Indian Alcohol and Drug Certification Board (based in
Washington state) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons,
for a total of 23 boards. There are three Licensing
Boards using the NCC Master Addiction Counselor Examination (MAC) as one of the licensing requirements.
The national examination process was shifted to electronic delivery in 2007 and, with only a few concerns,
has been reported as well received. Examinations are
now offered four times per year with eight days for
each examination cycle. As a result of the transition
to electronic testing, more people sat for the examinations in 2008 and in 2009 than in previous years. There
is a higher percentage of applicants achieving a
passing grade with the electronic delivery than in the
previous years.
The National Certification Commission’s focus in 2009
was to increase its offerings of credentials to the profession, improve the item bank for its test products, and
promote all of the credentials offered nationally and internationally. The 13-person Commission has dedicated
14 NAADAC 20 09 ANNUAL REPO RT
itself to advancing the profession by ascertaining that
proficiency in performance and practice are validated
through successful completion of testing with credential
products that are developed using best practice models.
NAADAC Provider Approval Program
More training and educational provider programs are
added to the NAADAC Education Provider Program
each year, with more colleges and universities enrolling. The number of colleges and universities requesting
provider status now includes those offering degree programs in substance use disorders. The efforts of these
colleges and universities to establish particular degree
programs in addictions studies shows acknowledgement of the need for specific education and training for
persons entering this profession. Many states are now
using the NAADAC Provider Education Program’s
­approved educators and trainers list to validate those
education/training programs that will be accepted within their state licensing and credentialing systems. This
demonstrates the reliance of the approval system.
Committee Responsibilities
The NAADAC Adolescent Committee (ASC) has been
meeting weekly to address adolescent issues, write
magazine articles, research materials to aid persons who
apply and test for the Adolescent Endorsement and to
write its own newsletter. This committee has been very
active and continues to lend support to NAADAC and
the NAADAC-NCC. The ASC has taken the lead in addressing adolescent issues by offering information and
guidance to persons who work directly with children
and adolescents nationally and internationally.
The NAADAC Clinical Affairs Committee contributed
to the reviews of NAADAC training products, the
Scope of Practice document developed by NAADAC,
the review of the DSM-V and many other projects. This
committee is also working with the NCC in its development of a potential Co-Occurring Endorsement.
The NAADAC and the NAADAC-NCC Ethics Committees reviewed nine complaints in 2009. Not all cases
reviewed were founded cases. The chairpersons of the
Ethics Committees work very closely state Ethics Committees and offer trainings at the NAADAC Annual
Conferences and regionally. The committee members
work with students and faculty to help in better understanding of Ethics and Professionalism.

The year 2009 will be remembered in public policy
circles first and foremost as the year in which President
Obama’s new administration laid the groundwork for
the comprehensive health care reform law that was ultimately signed into law in April 2010. The Patient Protection and Affordability Act affects most sectors of
America’s health care system (accounting for approx­
imately one-sixth of the entire U.S. economy), yet
NAADAC and its advocacy partners were able to secure several important provisions in the bill, including:
•Including mental health and substance use disorders
(with benefits at parity) as part of the mandatory
­“essential benefits package” for individual and
small-group health plans.
•Raising Medicaid eligibility to 133 percent of the
federal poverty limit, and requiring states to include
adults with non-dependent children in Medicaid.
Additionally, it is required that all newly eligible
Medicaid participants have mental health and addiction benefits covered.
•Several workforce provisions that will affect the addiction health care workforce. Health reform references addiction professionals more than any previous piece of federal legislation.
(Certification and Education continued from page 14)
NAADAC Product Review and Staff Support
In 2009, NAADAC products were evaluated to ensure
that each product sold by NAADAC reflected current
practice and accurate information. The staff has completed the revision of the Basics of Addictions Desk Reference and Study Guide which went on sale in November of 2009. The Basics is now a three-volume set with
separate volumes for Ethics, Counseling Practices and
Pharmacology. NAADAC members can now earn up to
42 hours simply by completing the home study courses
associated with the Basics. NAADAC now offers nine
free CE credits to its members online and is growing
this method of training. The educational opportunities
for NAADAC members to obtain reasonable and cost
effective CE credits allows the professional to meet application processes for licenses and credentials and to
maintain their current credentialing status.
NAADAC’s Advocacy in Action conference was held
March 2009, in Arlington, Va. Over 100 NAADAC
members participated in public policy-focused trainings
and put what they learned into practice by visiting their
congressional delegation. Sen. Edward Kennedy (who
passed away later that year) and Sen. Michael Enzi both
received Legislator of the Year Awards for their work on
the Wellstone-Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. Michael Waupoose from Wisconsin
was named Advocate of the Year, and Kids Against
Drugs and Alcohol (KADAA), from Utah, was honored
as the Emerging Leader of the Year. Conference trainings included a panel on parity, a lunch “debate” about
lowering the drinking age and a briefing about the role
of health information technology in addiction treatment.
Other notable events from 2009 include:
•NAADAC and NAATP amicably ended their twoyear public policy partnership, although the two
groups continue to work closely together.
•As part of its response to a “Request for Information” about the 2008 Wellstone-Domenici Parity
Act, NAADAC circulated an in-depth survey about
its members experiences working with health insurance plans. Excerpts from the surveys were included
in NAADAC’s official submission.
•Several new members were named to NAADAC’s
Public Policy Committee, including Will Miller
(Ohio), Mary-Rose Pearsall (Ore.), Dee Odell
­(Calif.), Roby Rowe (Conn.), Jeff Shepherdson (Va.)
and Chris Shea (Md.). Gerry Schmidt (W.V.) remained chair, and Michael Kemp (Wis.) and Sherri
Layton (Tex.) continued their terms on the PPC.
•NAADAC’s PAC raised over $18,000. The PAC
held an auction at Advocacy in Action featuring
Rock ’N Roll Hall of Fame inductee Jimmy Destri
(from Blondie), an auction at the Annual Conference
featuring musician Matt Calder and its second annual PAC Drive during the month of September.

In 2009, NAADAC leadership and staff began an effort
to assist the association’s state affiliates in the areas of:
enhancing the recruitment and retention of membership,
increasing member participation with affiliate boards,
reestablishing NAADAC affiliates to enhance local networking opportunities for states without representation
at the state level and providing affiliates with assistance
in planning Recovery Month activities to help raise
community awareness on the importance of addiction
treatment, prevention, intervention and recovery.
Recruitment and Retention
By the end of 2009, many NAADAC affiliates had increased their membership. These affiliates include (in
order of largest percentage increase) Minnesota, Ohio,
North Dakota, New Mexico, Indiana, Hawaii, Mississippi, Kansas, Colorado, Texas, South Carolina, Connecticut and Tennessee.
Awareness and Member Involvement
NAADAC leadership and staff continue to develop a
foundation for states without the benefit of formal
boards, including California, Missouri, Alaska and
Iowa. NAADAC is pleased to announce that a formal
board has been established in Minnesota and Wyoming
and merged associations in New Mexico, South Dakota
and District of Columbia.
Community Awareness
NAADAC founded the Treatment Works! campaign
twenty years ago, and this program has evolved into
­national Recovery Month, now coordinated by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Admini­
stration (SAMHSA) in communities throughout the
U.S. Together with SAMHSA and the Recovery
Month partners group, NAADAC was able to coor­
dinate more than 56 events in several states and
­American Territories and is honored to have been able
to work with several addiction-recovery-preventionintervention-focused groups. NAADAC was excited to
have the ability to provide $10,000 in grants to groups
in: Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia, American
Samoa, Guam, Alaska, Connecticut, District of Columbia and Illinois.
NAADAC also was pleased to welcome Dr. H. Westley
Clark, Director of SAMSHA to events in Utah for
­Recovery Month during NAADAC’s Annual Conference. Dr. Clark also welcomed attendees at the Guam
Recovery Month event.
16 NAADAC 20 09 ANNUAL REPO RT
NAADACs annual conference in Salt Lake City, Utah
was also the location for our Film Night, with producers
of addiction and recovery films available for questions
and answers from the 175 attendees, both addiction professionals and guests from the community.
Conference Development
Summary
NAADAC’s 2009 annual meeting, Sowing the Seeds of
Recovery, was held in partnership with the Association
of Utah Substance Abuse Professionals (AUSAP), the
Utah Department of Mental Health and Substance
Abuse (DSAMH), the Mountain West Addiction Technology Center and NALGAP, the Association for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Addiction Professionals and Their Allies. Also joining NAADAC was
the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Treatment
(ADAPT) program of the United States Air Force.
Conference attendance was well over 900 participants
with attendees traveling from throughout the United
States and internationally. The professionals attending
the sessions ranged from college interns, to frontline
pro­fes­sionals, to researchers to PhD/MD licensed pro­
fes­sionals; all of whom were there to focus on addiction
issues.
The conference program consisted of 66 trainings/presen­tations, including plenary sessions, keynote speakers, special topics and other workshops, presented by
experts in the addiction treatment and research co­mmu­
nity. The leadership boards of NAADAC, the National
Certification Commission (NCC), DSAMH and the
U.S. Air Force ADAPT held meetings at the conference,
while the Coalition of Addiction Credentialing Organizations (CACO) held its inaugural meeting at the conference and NALGAP offered a membership meeting.
