CASAA is pleased to announce the creation of its external Board of Advisors. Forming this esteemed group has been in the works for most of a year, but this represents its official launch. Most members of this group have been in communication with the CASAA leadership for a while, exchanging information and advice, though some of them have only been recently recruited to lend their advice to CASAA. In both cases, we are delighted to have this opportunity to work with them.
The group consists of Clive Bates, Dr. Brian Carter, Gregory Conley, Frank Cisco Correia, Fr. Jack Kearney, Oliver Kershaw, Dr. Riccardo Polosa, Louise Ross, Dr. Sally Satel, and Victoria Vasconcellos. (Brief bios for each of them appear in the full blog post linked below.) They bring a broad range of scientific expertise, political knowledge, communications expertise, and hands-on experience supporting consumer tobacco harm reduction choices and greatly expand CASAAs networking opportunities.
Members of this group have agreed, to the extent that their many other projects allow, to be available for discussion and specific advice. They are encouraged to proactively offer advice (or criticism) about any CASAA action or policy. CASAAs Chief Scientific Officer and Chief Operations Officer, Dr. Carl V Phillips, will serve as facilitator for the group.
CASAA Executive Director Julie Woessner observed, This is an important step for CASAA. It increases our reach and available expertise, and demonstrates the broad-based support for our mission and organization from scientists, practitioners, and businesses who support tobacco harm reduction.
