CALIFORNIA STATE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

A message from MADD California State Executive Director

Welcome to our 2021 Virtual Law Enforcement Recognition event - We are so happy you could join us! MADD California wishes to take this time to acknowledge distinguished individuals who change lives one day at a time — their experiences, expertise, and dedication are invaluable resources to our business model. Therefore, it is MADD California’s honor to host and recognize you today. Please accept this recognition as a small token of our appreciation for the risks you take daily to keep our roads safe from impaired drivers. You are truly an essential and valuable part of the MADD family. 2020 was a very difficult year for MADD California, as I am sure it was for most. Despite the challenges presented in 2020, MADD staff and volunteers delivered MADD ’ s core programs and services – virtually throughout California, all of which are free of charge to the public. These volunteer-based programs include but are not limited to victim advocacy, underage drinking prevention programs, community engagement and the campaign to eliminate drunk and drugged driving. At its core, MADD provides services to victims and families of drunk and drugged driving crashes at no cost, successfully lobby to support stronger drunk driving laws, deliver underage drinking prevention strategies to thousands of teens, and we are single handedly responsible for changing the apathetic culture surrounding drinking and driving. Impaired driving continues to be a leading cause of death and injuries in our country. We applaud you today and throughout the year for your dedication to make our roadways safer.
