Tom Coderre - A face and a voice of recovery
Faces & Voices board and staff joined with friends and allies in Washington, DC in January to honor Tom Coderre and thank him for his incredible work as our first National Field Director. Board chair Carol McDaid presented Tom with a resolution of thanks from the board as well as photographs from some of the incredible activities and events that he worked with recovery community organizations to organize – HBO’s Addiction Town Hall meetings; The Power of Our Stories media and messaging trainings; Recovery Voices Count; Rally for Recovery and the recovery rooms at national political conventions. He is an inspired organizer and worked closely with people around the country to build a constituency of consequence. Check out some of the pictures below to see Tom in action. He’s returned to Rhode Island, where he is the chief of staff to Rhode Island Senate President M. Teresa Paiva Weed.
