5. For each work group, on April 29th:

  • Identify the assets and resources and current and planned prevention work and compare with NAPA’s goals
  • Review barriers and identify significant opportunities and leverage for policy and environmental change
  • Develop goals for prevention (2 year, 5 year and 10 year) and who can do what
