A&E Recovery Project Delegate Nominations
May 28, 2010 is the deadline for the 2010 Recovery Delegate selection process to identify Recovery Delegate from each of the 50 states and Washington, DC.
Faces & Voices is partnering with The A&E Network, National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc. , the National Association of State Alcohol/Drug Abuse Directors, Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America and the 2010 Recovery Month Planning Partners in calling for nominees for the 2010 A&E Recovery Project Delegates from each of the 50 states and Washington, DC. A&E Recovery Project Delegates will serve as their home state's liaison to The Recovery Project, attending a National Recovery Month event on Saturday, September 25, 2010. Delegates will also share their personal stories with the recovery community through TheRecoveryProject.com and on the official Recovery Project Facebook fan page throughout the year.

This year, Delegates will be asked to share their stories of recovery, as well as their thoughts and observations about recovery, with The Recovery Project's online community. Delegates will be able to choose from a number of activities to get involved, ranging from blogging and periodic email updates to posting videos and photographs from events around the country. All content will be posted to TheRecoveryProject.com and Facebook Fan Page to help inspire others.
