From WOOD COUNTY PREVENTION COALITION
This July, the Wood County Prevention Coalition applied for Phase I of CADCA’s
2022 Got Outcomes! Awards. In Phase I, CADCA reviewed and scored applications
along with various required submitted products (to include a Community Assessment,
Logic Model, and Summary of Outcomes).
Last month, staff received notification that the Coalition would advance to Phase II of
this select process where only the top 25% of applicants move onward. As an
advancing finalist, the Coalition created a visual story of how Wood County attained
positive changes in community-level outcomes related to underage drinking.
Today, the Coalition received word they have received the distinction as a Blue
Ribbon Coalition. The Blue Ribbon Coalition Program is a special recognition of
coalitions who do an exceptional job creating a foundation for their work by updating
and utilizing their products and achieving positive outcomes. According to CADCA, this
two-year credential opens new doors to support the Coalition’s work. A Blue Ribbon
Awards Event will be held in National Harbor, Maryland in late January.
