MADDvocate 2022

Goal 3. My third goal for this term was to develop training for law enforcement on interacting with victims and families immediately after a tragedy, specifically as it relates to injured victims and officer mental health. MADD has developed a resource for law enforcement officers on this topic, and we hope to add a training component in the future addressing injured victims as a complement to MADD’s Death Notification Training. While what I set out to do two years ago has been accomplished, there is still much work to be done.

“ ... Being able to be a part of the War Room that fearlessly advocated for the passage of the HALT Act to change the way that cars are made was a true honor

... Thank you for allowing me to join you in this fight. I will be forever grateful ... ”

As my term as MADD’s National President comes to an end, I want to say thank you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to know so many of you. Thank you for the opportunity to represent victims and survivors of drunk and drugged driving. Thank you for allowing me to join you in this fight. I will be forever grateful. Please know that while I will no longer be MADD National President, I am not leaving MADD. I will continue to support MADD’s mission, advocate for victims and survivors and share my experience to make sure we eliminate deaths and injuries caused by drunk and drug-impaired driving forever.
