The National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors (NASADAD) and its subsidiary organization, the National Prevention Network (NPN), present a call for applications for the 2011 National Exemplary Awards for Innovative Substance Abuse Prevention Programs, Practices and Policies (2011 Exemplary Awards).

The 2011 Exemplary Awards identify and recognize quality substance abuse prevention efforts from around the country. The awards honor policies, practices and traditional prevention programs. Programs that bring about specific changes in communities – such as responsible retailing practices, smoke-free workplace ordinances and other environmental approaches – are invited to participate.

The program is supported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP).

Applications for the award are due June 20, 2011. Visit the NASADAD website for more information.
