Conference Information

 

The conference, held in conjunction with the National Liquor Law Enforcement Association, includes distinguished speakers from OJJDP and other leadership in the field. The Underage Drinking Enforcement Training Center's NLC brings out some of the Nation's largest policy and public health funders including OJJDP, NHTSA, NIAAA, SAMHSA, DOE and the FTC. This extends UDETC's reach nationally to federal, state and local agencies as well as their outreach to state and local communities through their relationship with 51 EUDL Coordinators in each State, the District of Columbia and the US Territories. The NLC is a gathering for States, Territories and communities with interest in enforcing underage drinking laws and in sharing of resources.

The conference includes thought-provoking plenary sessions along with engaging presentations by law enforcement, judicial members, youth, researchers and community leaders. The 2011 NLC theme, “Spotlighting Community Solutions for Underage Drinking” is fitting, as there will be a consistent message of what new tools, research and technology are being newly developed and currently utilized as resources in the efforts to enforce underage drinking laws nationwide. The NLC includes:

• Pre-conference activities for EUDL Coordinators and invited guests
• Experiential Learning Exercises
• Youth Track and Presentation 
• Law Enforcement, Leadership Institute and Success Story Awards

 

Who Should Attend

EUDL State/Territory Coordinators, enforcement officers, executives, military personnel, judges, prosecutors, probation officials, youth, government officials, staff members of community-based organizations and other individuals concerned with underage drinking are encouraged to attend.
