Committee Main Goal:
Policy committee is a committee dedicated to substance abuse prevention amongst youth through policy change, specifically focusing on alcohol and tobacco use. This committee often meets with local villages, government officials, law enforcement, as well as various other health-oriented organizations in order to create legislation change.
In the past, we have advocated for the passing of the Tobacco 21 bill, discussed with law enforcement the effects Social Host laws, and campaigned against e-cigarette use. Members of this committee will be expected to speak publicly. The top priority of Policy is to present and discuss policies regarding substance abuse in order to argue in favor of the passing or adjusting of such policy. A typical general meeting can include contacting authorities and villages, creating presentations, and researching substance abuse effects and policies.
