Senator Hughes

Localized Approaches to the Opioid Epidemic (campus flyer/PDF) was the title of a conference held November 1, 2017 at the Millersville University Ware Center.  Ninety (90) people registered for the event.  As a member of the planning committee, I co-developed the conference agenda; helped market the conference, and assisted with management of events.  In addition, I coordinated and introduced Mr. Eric Kennel, Executive Director of Compass Mark — one of the conference plenary session speakers.

Our keynote speaker for the conference was Senator Vincent Hughes of Pennsylvania’s 7th Senatorial District.  He spoke of efforts to solve this ongoing public health crisis. click to open MU news article: http://blogs.millersville.edu/news/2017/10/24/millersville-university-examines-impact-of-opioid-epidemic/

A few days prior to our conference, (on Oct. 26, 2017), the President of the United States  declared the opioid crisis as national public health emergency.
