P.A.A.R.I. Names Recipients of 2018 Leadership Awards

P.A.A.R.I. Executive Director Allie Hunter McDade is pleased to announce the recipients of P.A.A.R.I.’s 2018 Leadership Awards.

Since June 2015, P.A.A.R.I. has grown into a national movement of law enforcement agencies who believe in treatment over arrest and incarceration. P.A.A.R.I.’s third annual Leadership Awards serve as an opportunity to recognize the individuals who make this work possible.

“It has been an honor to work alongside the recipients this year,” Hunter McDade said. “These awards are just a small way to recognize their advocacy, leadership, and commitment to expanding access to treatment and changing the conversation about the opioid epidemic.”

Community members are invited to attend P.A.A.R.I.’s third year celebration, which will be held on Wednesday, June 27 at 6 p.m. at the Gloucester House, 63 Rogers St., Gloucester.

Tickets to the event can be purchased here. The event is open to the press.
