Congress of State Drug Court Associations

Recognizing that federal funding for drug courts will ultimately disappear, the Congress of State Drug Courts of the NADCP was launched in 1997 as a vehicle to empower, support and nurture leadership at the state and local levels. Comprised of two representatives from each state association, including one criminal justice professional and one treatment professional, the congress advocates for state and federal resources and funding and helps NADCP establish national policy.

The congress hold two meetings and one training per year: the first meeting is combined with an annual training conference for state drug court associations, which focuses on developing leadership at the state and local levels. The second meeting is held in conjunction with the annual adult training conference.
