Changes at ADAI Clearinghouse

Dear colleagues, I’d like to update you on changes at the UW Alcohol & Drug Abuse Institute and the ADAI Clearinghouse. You may already know that Jennifer Velotta, longtime Clearinghouse Coordinator, has taken a great new position with the NAADAC Minority Fellowship program. We wish her the very best in this new role, but we’ll miss her both professionally and personally. During a period of transition, Jenn will continue one day per week in the Clearinghouse, as we work out future plans. We’ll update you as news develops, but the Clearinghouse will continue as a resource for the prevention and treatment communities in Washington State.  Thank you, and congratulations to Jenn!

Nancy Sutherland, MLS
ADAI Associate Director
