Communities That Care Coalition Co-Chair Kat Allen Presents at Summit at White House
In 2014, Kat Allen represented the Communities That Care Coalition as one of several panelists presenting successful approaches in preventing substance abuse and promoting academic success in a day-long Policy Forum co-sponsored by the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the federal Department of Education.
“It is such an honor to be able to represent the Communities That Care Coalition and the amazing work that all of you do! And so exciting to be able to bring this work to the attention of national-level decision-makers with the hopes that we can influence national policy!”

The Coalition received high praise for its efforts and outcomes from the country’s current acting Drug Czar, Michael Botticelli, as well as from the Director of the Center for Substance Abuse Services, Fran Harding (pictured on Allen’s right, above). As a follow-up to the event, Allen (representing the Communities That Care Coalition) was invited to present at the Trust for America’s Health’s first-ever National Forum on Hospitals, Health Systems & Population Health.
