and openly address mental health and addiction issues.

2011 National Secretariat

The Centre for Addictions Research of BC is contracted by the Kaiser Foundation to administer the National Secretariat that recruits peer evaluators and manages activities related to the evaluation of nominations. Each nomination is reviewed and evaluated to produce the list of finalists in each category, from which the National Advisory Committee is able to select the winners. Peer evaluators do not evaluate nominations in a category in which they, or a close colleague, are a nominee or a nominator. The time and commitment of these volunteer evaluators is greatly appreciated.
