The Partnership was organized in 1999 in an effort to coordinate
prevention activities in our area. The Partnership is a non-profit
organization committed to the prevention of drug, tobacco, and alcohol
abuse through the process of awareness, education, and action.
Liz Barrontine took the rains of the Partnership and has been a such
a great asset to this orginazation. Whether its sitting down for
hours at her desk working on new grants to keep the Partnership
alive, or going out to any and everyone who will listen to her talk
about drug Awareness, without Liz the Partnership would not be where
it is today without her.
Nacole Baxley was added to our staff during the summer of 2003.
She volunteered to help with the Mentoring Program. She went on
her own time during spring break from teaching to help coordinate
this years Mentor DeKalb program. The board had to find someone
to be the coordinator over Mentor DeKalb and went through countless
numbers of resume's. Nacole was officially hired on in the position
of Mentor Coordinator by a unanimous vote due to her qualifications
and past history with the Partnership. We are expecting great things
from Mentor DeKalb and Nacole in the near future.
Lisa Durham is now our Administrative Assistant. She has been doing
a lot of the grunt work for Liz and Nacole. She has been carrying
flyers and pamphlets out to schools, churches, and other meeting
places when the other staff are too tied up to turn lose.
The board is very impressed with the effort that has been put forth
by these three women. Our new trainings are going great and signing
up new Mentors every day. Where will the Partnership and Mentor
DeKalb be tomorrow? Growing by leaps and bounds and the sky is the
limit!!
