Dear Fellow Drug Court Practitioner and Interested Persons:
We invite you to join or renew your membership with the Florida Association of Drug Court Professionals (FADCP). We are initiating our membership drive through e-mail again this year to streamline the process and conserve funds.
We welcomed our new Board of Directors at FADCP’s annual meeting in National Harbor, MD on July 20th. Our new Board of Directors brings enthusiasm, creativity and a wealth of expertise and dedication. Our newest board member is Dorrie Tyng, drug court coordinator, 15th Judicial Circuit. Ms. Tyng brings 25 years of experience in the criminal justice system and has served as the coordinator of Palm Beach County’s Drug Court since its inception in 2000. As you know, the FADCP Board is made up of volunteers who serve our membership and fulfill our statutory responsibilities.
The FADCP continues to advocate in support of important legislation that will give drug courts a mechanism to help adequately fund program operations. We will explore the feasibility of coordinating a statewide drug court training conference. The FADCP is involved with the Office of the State Courts Administrator as they manage the drug court expansion project which has made substantial progress. The FADCP is addressing judicial education needs related to substance abuse, developing guidelines for ex parte communication, and assisting counties wishing to implement Veterans’ Treatment Courts. Once again, the FADCP’s National Drug Court Month Celebration Committee will explore initiatives to showcase Florida’s drug courts at the state and national level.
Attached is the 2011-2012 FADCP membership application (organizational and individual). The FADCP Tax ID # is 65-1140643 and is located at the top of the form. The FADCP complies with the public record criteria of Section 119.01 (3), Florida Statutes.
Florida Statute 397.334 created the FADCP, "whose duty is to solicit recommendations from members on issues relating to the expansion, operation, and institutionalization of treatment based drug court programs." As an FADCP member, you will receive legislative alerts and our newsletter
(May 2011edition attached) which includes segments on treatment issues, legislative initiatives, training opportunities, and "FADCP snippets" that keep you informed on important news impacting Florida’s drug courts. Your membership supports our statewide association, the voice of Florida's drug courts. Through your support the FADCP can make a difference. Please join!With Best Regards,
Jack Espinosa, Jr.
FADCP Board Chair
