Holiday Safety Webinar Round Up

On Tuesday, November 15th, the Center for Alcohol Policy along with J.T. Griffin of Griffin Strategies, kicked off our Holiday Safety Campaign with a webinar.

We brought in a team of experts with experience in saving lives to look upstream at what it takes to keep people safe around the holidays.

Panelists Included:

• Kelly Roberson, Executive Director, Center for Alcohol Policy
• J.T. Griffin, Principal, Griffin Strategies
• Stephanie Shaw, Office of Safety Recommendations and Communications Safe Systems, NTSB
• Kurt Erickson, President, The Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP) 
• Tim Poulin, Deputy Director, Maine’s Bureau of Alcoholic Beverages and Lottery Operations 

Three Key Takeaways from our webinar include:

• Convincing people to separate drinking from driving. There needs to be as much intervention as possible, enlisting unique partnerships to carry it out.
• All drunk driving incidents are 100% preventable. In the same vein, seatbelts are the safest line of defense during any type of traffic incident.
• State regulators need more support from policymakers dedicated to compliance and enforcement of liquor laws.
