Alcohol Prevention Training Schedule
August - December 2003

The Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) involves itself
with numerous alcohol prevention projects targeted to enhance public safety
and law compliance within colleges and communities across the Commonwealth.
Specifically, ABC coordinates several conferences and one-day drive-in
trainings pertaining to alcohol prevention each year. These training
opportunities address topics that colleges, communities and ABC licensees
view as modern issues. Each of the training topics is chosen because it will
assist in providing strategies to move towards preventing and reducing
underage drinking, thereby encouraging and working for safer communities in
Virginia.

This training schedule offers technical assistance and training that
introduces innovations in alcohol and environmental prevention strategies,
while providing the opportunity for networking, planning and collaboration.
Each training promises to be an interactive, engaging and re-energizing
experience for all. Register today!

ABC brings these training opportunities to you through a federal grant from
the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, specifically
geared at reducing underage drinking.
