Treasurer’s Report

Data Committee Report
Linda Moultrie reported that
the Data Committee had discussed what they wanted to report and decided that
they needed input from the Steering Committee as to what direction they need to
take. In addition Sgt. Simmons asked for clarification on how and or what crime
the Coalition wants to address. Data is abundant and we could fill a room with
it, therefore the Coalition needs to determine what the data will be used for.
Our mission indicates that we want to reduce crime but the question was raised what
kind of crime? Only drug related crime? Amy Marshall reminded the committee
that Dr. Honea has offered to help the data committee. Greg Smith said that we
as a coalition must be able to show relevancy through our mission goals and
strategies in order to get funding from both grants and sponsors. Linda
Moultrie encouraged all the members to consider this issue and bring ideas to
the next Steering Committee meeting.
Linda Moultrie mentioned
that when she attended the statewide conference she heard that the Florida
Alcohol and Drug Association (FADAA) will provide coalitions with training at
no cost. Ms. Moultrie made the motion that we invite the FADAA to provide
training on growing and sustaining a prevention coalition. Carl Reeves seconded
the motion. It was approved unanimously. Linda will follow up to insure this is
a no cost training prior to securing a speaker.
