GUEST VOICES: California Alcohol Policy Alliance 3rd Annual Summit Wrapup

Public Health and Safety Advocates From Across California Gathered to Recognize that We Are "Better Together"

by Sara Cooley Broschart, MPH, Advocacy Manager Emeritus, California Alcohol Policy Alliance

CAPA Third Annual Summit plenary session attendees enjoy a good laugh together, for we are a merry merry bunch (aka "We few, we happy few") Over one hundred attendees from 13 counties gathered Thursday, October 11, at The California Endowment’s Center for Healthy Communities in Los Angeles to celebrate the California Alcohol Policy Alliance (CAPA)'s legislative successes of 2018—and strengthen their relationships and skills for 2019. Many were already members of CAPA, though new faces were spotted and welcomed. After all, the theme of the conference was "Better Together," and all shared the common goal of collaborating to stop the rising alcohol harm in California.
