Did you Miss it?
If
so, you missed a great event and an amazing learning and networking
experience! While hurricanes nearly spoiled the gathering, quick work
from the hotel (and thankfully shipping service in place last minute)
the event was a big success! Thanks to our sponsors, Florida NAADAC and
Synergy Recovery Center. Read our blog here for an overview of the conference. |

Months of work based on feedback from volunteers and participants pay off
SMART's new 5-Year Strategic Plan was debuted at the September Conference, with much of the content of President Gerstein's address relevant to the plan's content. Goals include: Continuing to increase the number and quality of SMART meetings; Promote awareness to support meeting growth and facilitator recruitment; Expand and modernize SMART's Information Technology capabilities; Significantly increase and organize the volunteer corps and recruit specific skills; Evaluate and improve SMART volunteer training; and Foster good governance and ongoing Board Development. Please review the contents of the 5-Year Plan here.

|
|

SMART Recovery Month T-shirts were a big hit!
With new designs including a blue shirt and v-neck options, our T-Shirt fundraiser cleared $2000 for SMART and were proudly worn by many (including the SMART Board featured in the photo). If you missed out purchasing a T-shirt this year, plan to participate next August and buy and wear your SMART T-shirt to Recovery Month events and SMART meetings!
