Some organizations that have benefited from previous funding include local law enforcement, schools, hospitals, and health departments, among others.Following the meeting, lunch will be provided. The meeting and lunch will conclude around 12:30 p.m.“This is a good opportunity to network, as well as learn about how we can all work together to continue the trend of reducing deaths on our roads,” Ellison added.The coalition encourages everyone who receives this or organizations and businesses who are interested in learning more to attend.
