START MEMO POST-OBJ:
Zarina Mulla is social planner for the City of Vancouver's
Drug Policy Program. In this capacity, she is responsible
for developing drug prevention programs that educate
Vancouver's public on the dangers of drug abuse. Zarina has
a strong interest in visiting U.S. municipal drug prevention
programs to learn more about effective ways of providing
community-based drug abuse education. We believe she is an
excellent candidate for the IVL Multi-Regional Project on
Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Education scheduled for
November 10 - December 1, 2005.
In 2001, the City of Vancouver's Drug Policy Program
implemented the Four Pillars Drug Strategy, its nationally
acclaimed policy and plan for reducing drug-related harm in
Vancouver. The plan called for efforts to address drug abuse
through four areas: harm reduction, enforcement, treatment
and prevention. To date, most attention from politicians and
policymakers has been given to the first pillar of harm
reduction. Harm reduction receives public support from all
directions to promote efforts to reduce the harm drug
abusers inflict on themselves through controversial programs
such as the Supervised Injection Site. Enforcement efforts
make news daily, though primarily on arrests rather than
convictions. Treatment receives some additional attention
through a focus on needle exchange programs, methadone
clinics, and the medically prescribed heroine trials
currently underway known as the NAOMI Project.
The pillar of drug prevention, however, receives very little
public attention despite its goal of educating the public on
the dangers of drugs. Zarina Mulla leads her office to
create programs that aim to foster dialogue at community
centers and schools on drug abuse education. She organizes
dozens of creative programs, but Vancouver officials and the
local media fail to promote them actively. Zarina is open to
new, innovative approaches to community drug prevention
programs that will catch the public's attention. We believe
that participation in the IVL program will give her the
opportunity to study such innovative approaches currently in
use in the U.S. The knowledge she would gain through the
program could then be applied to her efforts to provide
Vancouver's population with effective drug prevention
programming.
Zarina came to Vancouver's Drug Policy Program in 2003,
bringing extensive experience working with young ex-drug
abusers during a stint overseas in Thailand. She works
directly under Donald MacPherson, the Drug Policy
Coordinator for Vancouver and chief architect of the Four
Pillars Drug Strategy. Zarina is committed to a career in
drug policy planning and will continue to play an important
role in designing Vancouver's drug prevention programming
and policy for years to come. For these reasons, we believe
she is an ideal IVL Program candidate.

START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Zarina Mulla is social planner for the City of Vancouver's
Drug Policy Program. In this capacity, she is responsible
for developing drug prevention programs that educate
Vancouver's public on the dangers of drug abuse. Zarina has
a strong interest in visiting U.S. municipal drug prevention
programs to learn more about effective ways of providing
community-based drug abuse education. We believe she is an
excellent candidate for the IVLP Multi-Regional Project on
Drug Abuse Prevention, Treatment and Education scheduled for
November 10 - December 1, 2005.
In 2001, the City of Vancouver's Drug Policy Program
implemented the Four Pillars Drug Strategy, its nationally
acclaimed policy and plan for reducing drug-related harm in
Vancouver. The plan called for efforts to address drug abuse
through four areas: harm reduction, enforcement, treatment
and prevention. To date, most attention from politicians and
policymakers has been given to the first pillar of harm
reduction. Harm reduction receives public support from all
directions to promote efforts to reduce the harm drug
abusers inflict on themselves through controversial programs
such as the Supervised Injection Site. Enforcement efforts
make news daily, though primarily on arrests rather than
convictions. Treatment receives some additional attention
through a focus on needle exchange programs, methadone
clinics, and the medically prescribed heroine trials
currently underway known as the NAOMI Project.
The pillar of drug prevention, however, receives very little
public attention despite its goal of educating the public on
the dangers of drugs.
Zarina Mulla leads her office to create programs that aim to
foster dialogue at community centers and schools on drug
abuse education. She organizes dozens of creative programs,
but Vancouver officials and the local media fail to promote
them actively. Zarina is open to new, innovative approaches
to community drug prevention programs that will catch the
public's attention. We believe that participation in the IVL
program will give her the opportunity to study such
innovative approaches currently in use in the U.S. The
knowledge she would gain through the program could then be
applied to her efforts to provide Vancouver's population
with effective drug prevention programming.
Zarina came to Vancouver's Drug Policy Program in 2003,
bringing extensive experience working with young ex-drug
abusers during a stint overseas in Thailand. She works
directly under Donald MacPherson, the Drug Policy
Coordinator for Vancouver and chief architect of the Four
Pillars Drug Strategy. Zarina is committed to a career in
drug policy planning and will continue to play an important
role in designing Vancouver's drug prevention programming
and policy for years to come. For these reasons, we believe
she is an ideal IVL Program candidate.
This nomination supports the Mission's goal of fighting the
criminal activity and public health problems that accompany
drug abuse.
