Pierce County Community Connections is seeking applicants to fill vacancies on the Chemical Dependency Advisory Board. The board advises Pierce County on matters relating to the development and operation of publicly funded substance abuse treatment and prevention services for the citizens of Pierce County, and acts as an advocacy body to promote the interests of recipients of these services.

Positions are open to individuals residing in Pierce County who have an interest in issues related to substance abuse treatment and prevention. Recovered substance abusers are encouraged to apply. The board also welcomes applicants from all minority groups.

State law prohibits chemical dependency treatment providers, their employees or board members from serving on the County Chemical Dependency Advisory Board.
