FY2015 Annual Report (July 1, 2014—June 30, 2015)

Fiscal Year 2015 was a year of transition for ASAC with both of us coming into our leadership positions midway through the year. We were grateful for the opportunity to step into the roles knowing that were joining an agency with a solid history, deep community relationships and strong positive reputation. For more than three decades the staff and volunteers of ASAC have been dedicated to helping individuals, families, communi-ties, and workplaces be healthy

and substance free.

The key to the work you see rep-resented in this report is just a start to the changes that you’ll come to learn about over the next few years. We have spent

time evaluating the agency’s strengths and have identified areas that we wanted to focus on, such as improving our facili-ties and sharing information on

our successes.

We continue to evolve to serve the needs of our communities. As with most transitions, the ear-ly hard work is not visible for many months and even years. So

stay tuned!
