2017 Advocacy Day Was a Hit!
On May 2nd, 2017, MPA hosted its annual Advocacy Day at the State Capitol in Lansing, MI. Dozens of Preventionists made the trip to the Capitol to educate our state lawmakers on the need for continued support for Prevention programming.
MPA was very pleased to host The Honorable Alberta Tinsley Tilabi as a guest speaker. Her inspiring speech gave encouragement to all of us to keep fighting substance abuse in our own communities.
