FAMILY OF ROTARY

Our membership cares deeply about the needs and concerns of our members. We don’t want to miss an opportunity to reach out in friendship when such concerns arise. The chairperson of this committee is Lynne Lindsey and all news should be directed to her at lynnehlindsay@outlook.com

Dan Salter, HIDTA Director, to Speak


Daniel Salter has served for 37 years in federal law enforcement, combating the drug epidemic in our country and around the world. From 1987 until his retirement in 2018, he served as a Special Agent in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in field agent, supervisory, and executive leadership roles across the United States and South America. A second-generation public servant, he followed in his father’s footsteps as the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) of both the Dallas Field Division, and the Atlanta Field Division.

Following his retirement from federal service in 2018, Dan was selected to serve as the Executive Director of the Atlanta-Carolinas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (AC – HIDTA), a program under the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) that coordinates interagency task force operations between over 150 federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies across the states of Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. In this role, Director Salter leads the AC – HIDTA executive board comprised of county sheriffs, chiefs of police, and agency directors in the collaborative efforts to disrupt and dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) and Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs). Salter, a Roswell High School graduate, has been married to his college sweetheart Elizabeth for 40 years, and has three grown children. Director Salter resides in Kennesaw, Georgia, and attends NorthStar Church in Acworth.

May is Mental Health Month


CURRENTLY, ONE ROSWELL FOCUSES ON:

  • Underage Drinking
  • Nicotine – Vaping Nicotine; Other Tobacco Products
  • Misuse of Prescription Drugs
  • Other Illicit Drugs: Marijuana, Opioids, Methamphetamines
  • Mental Wellness

One Roswell will be the voice of prevention, while working to change the culture and context within which decisions about substance use are made by providing information, building skills, providing support, enhancing access, reducing barriers, changing physical design and changing policy.

That's a big job EVERY month - not just May.  Your help is requested. Please Join the #NoShame Movement here: https://onenorthfulton.org/one-roswell/
