As the Executive Director of Drug Free Clubs of America since 2012, she has built collaborations with health care, education, military, business, and community leaders in over 100 communities to combat substance-based threats to adolescents. Under her leadership, Angie and her team have strengthened and expanded their proven prevention program.
