The vodcast features interviews with the following coalition leaders: Cheryl Guthier of the Community Prevention Partnership of Berks County, Berks County, PA; Ann Comiskey of the Troy Community Coalition for the Prevention of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, Troy, MI; Sally Zellers of the Safe Streets Coalition, Topeka, KS.
