Who We Are
Government
NADAA is governed by a combined effort of its coalition membership through a majority vote of those present at meetings as well as the coalition's executive board. 2009 executive Board members are:
- Monty Lovelace - President
- Susan Kruse - Vice President
- Bob Cole - Secretary
- Brent Lottman - Member at Large
- Carie Allen - Member at Large
- Holly Riley - Member at Large
- Paul Lillenas - Member at Large
Funding
NADAA is funded through grants and donations. The majority of funding is provided from a federal grand called "Drug Free Communities." This grant is a five year grant providing $100,000.00 per year. However, the coalition must re-apply for funding every year showing updated action plans, recent statistics, and progress toward goals. Other grants are applied for as they become available, and often include mini-grants from Region V Systems as well as other state and federal grants. Private donations are made to the coalition from businesses, organizations, and individuals from Nemaha County. These donations, combined with in-kind donations of items and volunteer time, must match the amount of money provided throught the Drug-Free Communities (DFC) grant. For NADAA, the match exceeds the DFC funding match thanks to the generosity of our area's citizens and organizations.
