Municipal Alliance
The Bernards Township Municipal Alliance Against Substance Abuse, or "Alliance," was founded in 1991, and is a mayoral-appointed volunteer-based coalition of local parents, youth, health professionals, social service workers, law enforcement, school personnel, clergy, and other concerned leaders who support tobacco, alcohol, and drug prevention efforts in the community. The goals of the Alliance are three-fold:
- To educate about the damaging and addictive effects of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs
- To support events and programs, which provide healthy alternatives
- To create a community-wide presence in the identification of problems and in designing solutions.
Meeting Schedule
The Bernards Township Municipal Alliance meets on the first Tuesday after the first Monday of the month (except July and August) from 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm at Bernards Township Town Hall, 1 Collyer Lane, Basking Ridge. All meetings are public.
