Today, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced plans to appoint six members to two advisory bodies focused on substance use and community resilience. These appointments will include two positions in the Substance Use Response Group (SURG) and four in the Advisory Committee on Resiliency and Nevada (ACRN). This follows the passage of Assembly Bill 19 during the 83rd Legislative Session in 2025.
"These advisory positions represent an opportunity for qualified Nevadans to make a meaningful impact on our state's response to substance use challenges," said AG Ford. "I'm looking for individuals with diverse expertise and lived experience who can work collaboratively with state agencies, local organizations, and community stakeholders to develop and implement effective strategies for prevention, treatment, and recovery support."
The appointed members will serve as volunteers without compensation. Interested candidates are encouraged to contact Terry Kerns, Substance Abuse/Law Enforcement Coordinator, by emailing [TKerns@ag.nv.gov%20]TKerns@ag.nv.gov with their details by July 18, 2025.
