When I came into this position, I had three goals that I wanted to be a part of accomplishing prior to the end of my term.
Goal 1.
The first goal was to see the organization do a better job of engaging with injured victims. The way that the organization has embraced this inclusion of traumatic injury in the conversation over the last two years has been amazing.
Goal 2.
The second goal was to expand MADD’s resources to reflect more than drinking and driving on the roadway. The culmination of this goal being achieved was the launch of MADD’s first national boating under the influence awareness and enforcement campaign, BUI = DUI, Know Before You Boat, in May of this year. I am elated to know that others who have been through what I have been through will never have to question whether MADD is here for them. Boating under the influence is driving under the influence, and MADD is here to serve all victims of impaired driving, regardless of the mode of transportation.
