2019 National Leadership Conference and Awards Dinner

Over 200 people attended the Addiction Policy Forum’s 2019 National Leadership Conference at the historic Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. The day started off with an unprecedented moment: Keynote Speaker, and current Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) Jim Carroll, invited previous Directors of ONDCP General Barry McCaffrey (ret.) and Dr. Robert DuPont to join him onstage for an impromptu panel. For the first time, these three experts shared their insight on the current opioid epidemic and lessons learned heading the nation’s top office on addiction.
