Sector Leaders
GFC engages with 12 sectors of the community to reduce youth substance use. Sector leaders come from different areas in our community, though they do not represent all people, entities, or businesses that are in the same sector. Sector leaders advise GFC on various tasks and projects, such as strategic planning; and they serve as a liaison to their networks.
​
The sector groups are:
-
parent
-
youth
-
education/school
-
state or local government
-
media
-
business
-
law enforcement
-
youth-serving organization
-
volunteer organization
-
healthcare professional
-
other substance abuse prevention organization
Interested in becoming a sector leader?
We are always looking for sector leaders. If you’re interested or need more information, call Neil at 802-463-9927 ext. 208.
