Guest Speakers
This writer introduced Exec. Dir. Niki Miller, N.H. Task Force
on Women & Addiction, to the club. She has been with the
organization since it was started three years ago. The group
is a statewide grassroots effort dedicated to improving the lives
of women, girls, and families affected by alcohol and other drugs.
Their membership includes recovering women, human service providers,
educators, and concerned citizens. They are a non-profit organization
and areas of focus are collaboration, education, and empowerment
through advocacy. She introduced Liz Jameson who reports one
of the big advantages of NHTFWA is that she retains custody of
her two children as she goes through the program. For more information
