To apply, complete the Coalition Business Administration Application

The prevention field needs strong leaders to grow and sustain prevention efforts. To meet this need, the ORN, PTTC, and CADCA came together to create a new training: Coalition Business Administration (CBA). Following a successful pilot cohort who recently celebrated their graduation at CADCA Forum, the ORN is excited to offer this training again to a larger audience.

The goal of this program is to equip current and aspiring leaders in prevention with business knowledge and skills to increase their effectiveness and sustainability in their organizations.

The training covers a wide variety of topics related to the business, sustainability, and administration of prevention coalitions such as branding, accounting, management styles, grant writing, and nonprofit development. Participants who complete the training will receive a certificate in Coalition Business Administration from the PTTC Network Coordinating Office.
