SUMMARY:Bringing People to the Table: Community Voices and Policy Choices to Improve Substance Use Systems
DESCRIPTION:On October 21\, 2026\, AIR\, along with partners National Academy for State Health Policy\, The O’Neill Institute at Georgetown Law\, and Morgan Godvin\, will host a webinar highlighting how the Measurements for Accountability to All People in Policy Solutions (MAAPPS) initiative uses community engagement to strengthen policy decisions\, inform investment priorities\, reinforce accountability\, and improve how impact is measured in substance use disorder (SUD) systems. \nAcross the country\, states\, local governments\, and partners are grappling with how to ensure that opioid settlement funds and SUD policies reflect real community needs—and that investments\, including opioid settlement funds\, lead to meaningful outcomes. Yet too often\, the people most affected are not meaningfully engaged in how priorities are set\, how success is defined\, or how progress is measured. \nThrough environmental scans\, stakeholder engagement\, and community-informed measure development\, MAAPPS helps states identify priorities\, refine outcome measures\, and develop recommendations that better align investments with community needs and experiences. \nRegister Here: https://air-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_zU-M9S8URXewe9KbCGlAHg#/registration \n\n\n\nWhy Participate\nThis moment presents an opportunity to move beyond gathering input and instead meaningfully center community voices in both policy development and accountability efforts. \nParticipants will hear from state leaders and community partners about: \n\nWhat meaningful engagement looks like in practice;\nHow community input can shape priorities\, measures\, and recommendations;\nHow these approaches have been applied in Oregon and Maryland; and\nHow these engagement approaches can be adapted in other contexts.\n\nThe webinar will also cover: \n\nWhy community engagement leads to more effective SUD policy and opioid settlement investment decisions that better reflect community needs.\nHow engaging communities strengthens measurement\, accountability\, and shared goals for substance use initiatives by helping define and track outcomes that matter most to impacted communities.\nPractical examples from Oregon and Maryland on integrating community voices to shape policy\, priorities\, and decision-making and inform outcome measures and recommendations.\nStrategies for incorporating lived experience into both policy design and how impact is measured\, ensuring community priorities help guide investments and action in ways that can be adapted across states\, local governments\, and community settings.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\nKatie Greene\nDirector\nNational Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) \nPanelists\nMorgan Godvin\nPolicy Researcher\nUCLA Drug Checking Los Angeles\nFounder\nBeats Overdose \nBenjamin Fraifeld\nAssociate Director for Policy & Advocacy\nMaryland’s Office of Overdose Response \nEbony Sloan Clarke\nBehavioral Health Director\nOregon Health Authority \nDiscussant\nRegina LaBelle\nProfessor and Director\, Center on Addiction Policy\nO’Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law\nGeorgetown University
