Dr. Stringham will explore the issues concerning current pharmacological and behavioral addiction treatments — what every parent and public policy leader should know. In addition, she will share her personal leadership journey.

Dr. Stringham has worked in the field of substance dependency treatment since the early eighties.

In 1984 she became the head of an outpatient substance treatment center in Montana, then served as Charter Canyon Hospital’s head of substance treatments, and earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Brigham Young University in 1993. In addition, she is certified as a Master Addictions Counselor (MAC).

The meeting will be held today, Apr. 9, at 11:30 a.m. for networking and noon for the actual meeting presentation.

It will be held at the Provo Library, Room 309, 550 N. University Ave.

For underground parking, enter on the east side and drive around to the west side entrance to park and take the elevator to the third floor.

Women in Leadership was established in 1993 as a non-partisan forum which explores current issues, and supports and prepares women for leadership in volunteer, appointed or elected positions on community, county or state levels.

The organization believes that women provide a necessary balance and perspective to all decision-making bodies, and membership is made up of women of all ages from all walks of life.
