Who should attend from your agency?
To make the most of this opportunity, we are asking each agency to identify a small team (3 people) to participate in the training. Ideally, each team should include the following:
- An identified Site Champion – The person who will be the primary contact and serve as your agency’s point person for the initiative.
- A Tobacco Treatment Specialist (TTS) – If you do not have a TTS on staff, an employee who knows the most about tobacco dependence and/or has a personal passion for addressing tobacco use and dependence.
- Administrative staff – A person with decision-making authority within the agency (if the Site Champion does not). If there are additional staff that you would like to send to the training, please let us know and we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
