Background MADD is the nation’s largest nonprofit working to protect families from drunk driving and underage drinking. With the help of those who want a safer future, MADD’s Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving® will end this danger on America’s roads. In addition, Power of Parents, It’s Your Influence® offers research-proven strategies to help parents keep their children safe from the dangers of underage drinking. One of the largest victim services organizations in the U.S., MADD also supports drunk driving victims and survivors — serving one person every eight minutes — at no charge. MADD came to Tennessee in 1982 ad our state office is located in Nashville. MADD Tennessee also has offices in Knoxville and Memphis which each have one paid staff member. Nationally, MADD has a presence in all 50 states and is also represented in numerous foreign countries. Since MADD's inception, we have helped to save over 300,000 lives and have helped to reduce the annual number of alcohol related traffic deaths by about half. MADD has also been instrumental in passing thousands of life-saving laws on the federal, state and local levels. MADD is governed by one National Board of Directors, but also receives guidance on the state and local level. Each state has a State Advisory Board to guide and assist the state office. The goal of the advisory boards is to provide guidance in program planning and goal setting to help ensure that state and local needs are being addressed in the most effective manner possible. MADD Tennessee has a wide array of programs and services that are aimed at accomplishing our mission. Each year we promote awareness campaigns that encourage people to drive safe, sober and buckled up. MADD also works to support life-saving legislation. Our victim services are delivered by a Lead Victim Services Specialist and many victim advocates across the state. These advocates help victims cope with great tragedy by providing them with emotional support, community referral, court accompaniment, and advocacy. Youth are also a big focus in our state through prevention programs like Power of You(th) and Power of Parents. 2 Impact MADD Victim Services supports bereaved victims and injury survivors who are left to deal with the aftermath of a drunk or drugged driving crash or an underage drinking incident. We consider a victim or survivor to be: • An individual who is injured in a crash • A family member of an individual killed or injured in crash • Someone whose property was damaged in a crash but who wasn’t physically injured • A family member whose loved one was killed due to an underage drinking incident • A family member whose loved one was injured due to an underage drinking incident • A friend or coworker or acquaintance of an individual killed or injured in a crash • Neighbors, witnesses, first responders or even media personnel who have been affected by witnessing or hearing about a crash MADD Tennessee strives to provide comprehensive care to our victims and survivors through a variety of services which include: • Emotional support: Our Victim Services Specialist and Advocates are here to listen, even when family and friends are tired of listening. We understand that healing can be a long and difficult journey. We understand that an impaired driving crash has a lifelong impact. Rather it's been a day, or fifteen years, we are here to support. • Referrals: Often after a crash, families are overwhelmed with what comes next. There can be medical bills, attorneys, long-term care issues for injuries, decisions to be made in light of changing family circumstances, etc. Often they are in need of services they never even knew existed. Our Victim Services team is sensitve to these needs and can offer suggestions and resources to help direct families to the kind of help they need most. • Court advocacy and support: Our Victim Services Specialist and Advocates can not only help victims better understand the judicial process following an impaired driving crash, but can also offer guidance and support as they seek the answers they need and the justice they desire. Needs 1. Unrestricted funding for administrative and programmatic expenses. 2. Volunteers facilitators for Power of You(th) and Power of Parents. 3. Recruit more Advisory Board Members and sub-committee volunteers. Other ways to donate, support, or volunteer If you mail in a gift honoring the life of someone and would like the family to know you are supporting MADD in honor of their loved one, please provide the contact information for someone in the family. Send gift with contact information to MADD TN, 53 Century Blvd. Suite 100, Nashville, TN 37214. Volunteers are the heart and soul of MADD.

Service Categories Primary Organization Category Human Services / Human Services Secondary Organization Category Human Services / Victims' Services Tertiary Organization Category Youth Development / Youth Development-Citizenship 3 Areas of Service Areas Served TN Board Chair Statement CEO Statement 4 Programs Programs Victim Services Description MADD is one of the nations largest crime victim assistance organization. Families are never prepared for the tragedies caused by drunk driving, so MADD is here to help them navigate the painful journey through the legal system and greif for bereavement victims or recovery for injury victims. MADD Victim Services offers emotional support, information, and referrals to victims/survivors of impaired driving crashes. Services are free of charge and rendered by one paid and many trained volunteer Victim Advocates. Every day, people whose lives have been turned upside down by an impaired driving crash call our Victim Help Line at 877.MADD.HELP (877.623.3435). Budget 83621 Category Crime & Legal, General/Other Drunk Driving Programs Population Served Victims, Adults, Families Short Term Success Short-term success when helping people cope with tragic death or lifechanging injuries is pretty hard to put into words. Every person deals with grief. loss, and life changes in vastly different ways. For some victims a short term triumph is finding the strength to face another day without their loved one. For an injury victim a short-term success could be having the patience to endure another physical therapy session as they learn to walk with a cane. Long term Success Long-term success of our victim services fall into two major categories. The first category is related to criminal and civil court cases. Our goal is to have helped families navigate this painful journey by ensuring understanding of court proceedings and underlying laws while also helping to ensure that their rights are protected. We want to support families through ajudication and it is our hope that fair and just outcomes occur which help families gain a sense of closure. The other facet of long-term success is gauged by a victim's ability to come to terms with their loss or injuries in a healthy and productive way. This looks very different for each victim, but generally means that they have accepted their loss and found a meaningful way to live in the present. Some victims go on to become MADD volunteers and supporters while others prefer to move away from the organization. Both approaches can be a part of a victim's healthy adaptation to the new circumstances of their life caused by the actions of a drunk driver. Program Success Monitored By We guage the success of our services in four primary ways. One way is through the number of referrals that we continue to receive and the number of victims served annually. We also collect testimonial evidence of how our services have helped victims cope with tragic loss & injury. Victims are sent surveys related to the victim services and this data is tallied annually. Community partners who refer victims are also surveyed about our services annually. Our number of victims served and survey data is monitored by Tennessee's Office of Criminal Justice Programs because they provide partial funding for our victim services. 5 Examples of Program Success Victims of drunk driving crashes often comment that the support provided by MADD Victim Services is a major part of their healing journey after a tragic death or life-changing injury. Dell Russell is a good example of the efficacy of MADD's assistance to victims. When Dell's husband was killed more than 15 years ago, she was left heart-broken and terrified about how she would be able to support their three children. Dell reached out to MADD and was assigned a volunteer victim advocate. This advocate stood by Dell as she faced the pain of reliving the events of her husband's death in court. Her advocate helped her understand what was happening in court and made sure she was aware of her rights as a victim. MADD staff and volunteers provided Dell with emotional support as she struggled to adjust to her new life. Over time, MADD became a healing outlet for Dell as she sought to honor her husband's memory by becoming an active MADD volunteer which she continues to this day. 6 Youth Programs Description Power of Parents and Power of You(th) are MADD’s primary underage drinking prevention programs. In response to scientific evidence that parental influence can reduce underage drinking, MADD began a parent initiative: Power of Parents, It’s Your Influence®. MADD has partnered with Dr. Turrisi and adapted his handbook model to reach parents of high school students. At no cost to the participant, the parent handbook is available to parents and guardians through 30-minute Parent Workshops facilitated by trained MADD staff and volunteers. st PowerTalk 21— on April 21 — is the national day for parents to start talking with their kids about alcohol. This national day was launched in 2011 to get the conversation started between parents and teens, using thePower of Parentshandbook as their guide. PowerTalk 21day occurs during Alcohol Awareness Month and in advance of prom and graduation season — a time when teens may encounter alcohol — providing families with an opportunity to have an important conversation at what may be a critical time. Teens have more power than they might think when it comes to saying no to alcohol. Developed with MADD’s National Teen Influencer Group, Power of You(th) features “The 411 on Teen Drinking” booklet. Schools partner with MADD to distribute the teen booklet to help teens take a stand against underage alcohol use. From MADD’s red ribbon week to graduation season, MADD also provides keynote speakers to schools in Tennessee at no charge. Teen alcohol use kills about 6,000 people each year, more than all illegal drugs combined. Budget 110185 Category Youth Development, General/Other Youth Development, General/Other Population Served K-12 (5-19 years), Families, At-Risk Populations Short Term Success Our goal is that youth who take part in any MADD sponsored activities will make the choice not to drink, so making that choice is a short-term success. However, we recognize that this data is hard to collect. Our "Power of Parents: It's Your Influence" program can most easily define short-term successes. Parents are surveyed at the end of a workshop to see how valuable they felt it was. Our goal is that 90% of parents will say that the workshop provided valuable information. Also, our goal is for 90% of parents to commit to having meaningful conversation with their youth about the dangers of underage drinking. Another facet of MADD's underage drinking prevention programs is through limiting the availabilty of alcohol to youth. Each year we work with community partners to organize sticker shock activities and an annual night of compliance. Both strategies are aimed at reducing youth access to alcohol, and success is measured by how many communities/outlets participate. 7 Long term Success The ultimate goal of MADD's underage drinking prevention programs is to see a decrease in underage drinking and the occurence of the dangerous outcomes associated with underage drinking. These outcomes include death, injury, alcohol poisoning, alcoholism, binge drinking, committing crimes (rape, theft, DUI, assault, vandalism, etc.), school drop out or becoming the victim of a crime. These are not things that MADD Tennessee can easily measure since there are numerous factors that influence these issues and are larger in magnitude than we could easily measure. Our goal is to be an important factor in our cultures continued efforts to protect our youth from the dangers of underage drinking. Program Success Monitored By The frequency of all of our outreach strategies is recorded throughout the year and all survey data related to the Power of Parents is collected and tallied. All outcome data is shared with the Governor's Highway Safety Office as a part of grant reporting since they provide some funds to support these programs. Examples of Program Success Parents are elected to participate in the Power of Parents program to learn tools to help them talk to their teens about alcohol. With a goal of 600 caregivers, MADD Tennessee provided Power of Parents training to 683 parents last year. 8 Awareness & Advocacy Description MADD’sCampaign to Eliminate Drunk Drivingfocuses on three important steps we all can take today to stop drunk driving tomorrow: 1.Support our heroes. Support high-visibility law enforcement efforts to catch drunk drivers and discourage others from driving drunk. 2.Sober to start. Require ignition interlock devices, or in-car breathalyzers, for all drunk drivers, to prove they are sober before their car will start. 3.Secure the future. Support the development of technology to automatically determine whether or not the driver is above the legal limit of .08 BAC and failing to operate if the driver is drunk. As of 2011, all 50 states have some form of ignition interlock law. Budget 75720 Category Crime & Legal, General/Other Crime Control & Prevention Population Served Adults, Adolescents Only (13-19 years), Short Term Success While community norms or attitudes are difficult to measure, there are signs of improvement. This year, the ignition interlock bill received unanimous votes of support in both the Tennessee House and Senate. The governor has signed the bill into law with a July 1 start date. Awareness efforts are aimed at reducing in drunk driving fatalities. The Governor’s Highway Safety Office has shared a preliminary estimate of 302 Tennessee alcohol-related traffic fatalities for 2012. Long term Success The goal is to Eliminate Drunk Driving, not just reduce it. The ignition interlock has been a very successful tool for the campaign, with the CDC reporting that it reduces recidivism by 67%. States that have passed similiar ignition interlock legistation have reduced their alcohol-related traffic fatalities by 31% to 46%. Program Success Monitored By The numbers of alcohol-related traffic fatalities are published by NHTSA around the close of the following year. Changes in public policy are reflected in state and local laws. Examples of Program Success This year, the ignition interlock bill received unanimous votes of support in both the Tennessee House and Senate. The governor has signed the bill into law with a July 1 start date. 9 Court Partnerships Description MADD Victim Impact Panels and Court Monitoring will offer much-needed support to DUI prosecutors as well as encourage judges and court systems to adjudicate DUI-related offenses in a tough and consistent manner. Court Monitoring can help victims find a more victim-sensitive court system, and ultimately, court monitoring helps reduce the rate of repeat offenses and fatal crashes among DUI offenders. MADD Victim Impact Panels give the courts an additional tool to help DUI offenders realize the importance of making the choice to not drive drunk again. Budget 88955 Category Crime & Legal, General/Other Drunk Driving Programs Population Served Alcohol, Drug, Substance Abusers, General/Unspecified, Short Term Success Ten courts have partnered with MADD for the Victim Impact Panels provided to first-time DUI offenders. Long term Success Ideally, court monitoring data will not demonstrate differences by demographcis. The program seeks to increase conviction rates and decrease dismissal rates. Program Success Monitored By Data is provided by GHSO and NHTSA. MADD Tennessee's online database is populated by court monitors from across the state. MADD Victim Impact Panel attendance is also tracked and evaluations are completed by participants. Examples of Program Success MADD Tennessee offers a Juvenile Victim Impact Panel program for teens and their caregivers. Parents are shocked at the survey results of their teens in the next room; i.e., 80 to 100% of their teens report that they have gotten into a car with someone who has been drinking. After those results, parents become more engaged in the Power of Parents workshop they attend while their youth are participating in the juvenile program. CEO Comments We are very proud of the work that is done each day by staff and volunteers in support of MADD's mission, but realize that we still have far to go in achieving our ultimate goal of eliminating drunk driving. MADD Tennessee needs more funding to expand our outreach efforts. We need funding for more materials and outreach to continue to educate the public about the dangers of drunk driving. We also need funding for a second full-time victim advocate and a Spanish-speaking staff member to provide outreach and victim services. MADD also needs paid and volunteer assistance to work with community leaders to educate them about the need for alcohol ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers. These devices have been proven to reduce drunk driving fatalities by 30% which is staggering compared with the minor decrease in fatalities seen in states where interlocks are not mandated for all convicted drunk drivers. MADD has a solid core of employees and volunteers across the state. We know that there is much more we can do in our community to stop drunk driving and prevent underage drinking and we look forward to gaining the resources and volunteers to help us make an even bigger impact on our community. 10 Governance Board Chair Board Chair Ms. Mel Taylor Company Affiliation CEO/ President splitsecnd Term Oct 2014 to Sept 2017 Email [email protected] Board Members Name Affiliation Status Mr. Kyle Anderson Davidson County Court- ADA, DUI Prosecutor Mrs. Megan Buell Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security Mr. Brad Bulla Serves on MADD National Board & Exofficio Victim of Impaired Driving Deputy Chris Gilmore Cheatham County Sheriff's Office Mr. Jim Horvath Nationwide Captain Dhana Jones Metro Nashville Police Department Mrs. Kathy Kilgore Beeler MADD Volunteer & Victim of impaired driving Mr. Thomas E.
