ALEXANDRIA, VA — The Center for Alcohol Policy is now accepting nominations for the Second Annual Leadership in Alcohol Regulation Award to be presented at the Center’s upcoming Alcohol Law and Policy Conference September 3-5, 2014, at the Hyatt Chicago Magnificent Mile in Chicago, Illinois.
The award recognizes the work of alcohol regulators who oversee the alcohol industry and promote public safety. Any governmental agency or its employees working to promote and enforce alcohol laws and regulations are eligible for the award. A specific program that has achieved positive results or an individual within an agency going above and beyond the call of duty are examples of potential nominees.
“There are many great initiatives in the states aimed at keeping the alcohol industry properly regulated and promoting public health and safety,” said Jerry Oliver, Center for Alcohol Policy Advisory Council member and former Arizona alcohol regulator. “This award highlights effective best practices that may serve as examples to alcohol regulators in other states.”
Nominations should provide information on how the nominee serves as an example to others in alcohol regulation. Consideration will be given to how the actions of this nominee are helpful to other agencies or employees, achieve desired results and engage or impact a broad coalition of stakeholders. Self-nominations are permitted, and letters of support are encouraged.
HOW TO NOMINATE: Nomination forms may be emailed to awards@centerforalcoholpolicy.org or mailed to: Center for Alcohol Policy; Attn: Leadership in Alcohol Regulation Award; 1101 King St., Suite 600-A; Alexandria, VA 22314.
