2007/2008 TAADAS Board Officers

The Tennessee Association of Alcohol, Drug & other Addiction Services (TAADAS) Board of Directors voted on a new slate of officers to govern the 30+ year old association for addiction services.

Current TAADAS Board President, Mike McLoughlin, handed over the reigns of the association to Sharon Trammell, the Executive Director of Grace House in Memphis, Tennessee. Trammell explains that “TAADAS is the trade organization for addiction treatment programs in the state of Tennessee. Treatment programs need TAADAS to succeed. The programs represented by TAADAS bring hope to so many individuals suffering from addictive disease, and in doing so, aid the communities where these individuals reside. As president of TAADAS, my vision is to try and move all of the organizations working for the betterment of those suffering from addictive disease, closer to working together. I believe that, as these relationships are strengthened, and as the organizations present a more united front, the ultimate winners will be the clients we work with, as well as the treatment programs that comprise the TAADAS membership.”

Joe Pickens, from JACOA in Jackson, will serve as the Vice President. Paul Fuchcar, from CADAS in Chattanooga, will serve as the Secretary/Treasurer.
