On March 25th, Virginia Johnson and James Wong of Empowered Ideas were invited to present a Media Advocacy Workshop at the North Carolina Coalition Initiative: Building Capacity for Substance Free Communities (NCCI), in Asheville, NC.
Attendees at the workshop represented several coalitions from all across North Carolina, and were part of a two-year program that NCCI offers to coalitions across the state. A pre-training webinar was hosted a week prior the event, and the media advocacy training itself was hosted in Asheville, NC.
Empowered Ideas is proud to serve our North Carolina Substance Abuse Prevention communities, and we're honored to have been invited to talk about Media Advocacy at the NCCI Spring Training.
