Prevention Professional of the Year



Prevention Professional of the Year

2013 Award Information

Substance abuse prevention is one of the greatest public health challenges of our time, and its success depends on a workforce of qualified professionals trained in evidence-based practices.

Prevention professionals are working all over the world – partnering with parents, community groups, coalitions, faith-based organizations, health care professionals, law enforcement, businesses, and educators – to make a difference in their communities.

Among them are the professionals who go above and beyond, truly standing out in their dedication, intelligence, compassion, and effectiveness. It is those professionals whom IC&RC wants to recognize.

About the Award

The Prevention Professional of the Year Award seeks to honor the best of the best: the certified preventionist who best embodies the ideal of the profession and of IC&RC. The Prevention Committee of IC&RC will accept nominations from member boards, and then select the awardee from among the submissions. The recipient and nominating board will be notified, and then honored at a state or national conference.

About The Prevention Committee

Co-chaired by Julie Stevens, LCDC, ICPS, ACPS, and Sandra Del Sesto, ICPS, the Prevention Committee of IC&RC leads the organization’s efforts to advance the profession of substance abuse prevention.
