At the APNC Spring Conference, on April 22, 2010, NCSAPPA Board Member Terri Fowler, Program Manager of Unlimited Success, the substance abuse division of Winston-Salem based Partnership for a Drug Free NC, received the 2010 Art of Prevention Award.  The Art of Prevention Award is presented annually to recognize achievement by those engaged in “frontline” work in substance abuse prevention.  The award was presented to Terri Fowler by Phil Mooring, Chairman of APNC’s award committee.

The presentation remarks noted “This year’s recipient of the 2010 Art of Prevention Award has worked tirelessly in so many ways to support the efforts of substance abuse prevention.  From her agency’s board room all the way to the classroom, prevention is working because of the efforts of one of the most dedicated and determined individuals with whom many  will ever have the honor and pleasure of working.”  Terri Fowler was honored for her leadership, commitment to serve the community, and the inspiration she gives to substance abuse prevention and treatment professionals.
