ITFSDP Members Calvina L. Fay and Mina Seinfeld de Carakushansky Receive Prestigious Designation

L-R: Ms. Seinfeld de Carakushansky, Ms. Fay and Dr. Tobias

The Universidad del Salvador (USAL) recognized two ITFSDP members for their invaluable contributions in the arena of drug prevention with a most prestigious designation. The prominent title of honorary professor was bestowed upon Calvina L. Fay of the United States and Mina Seinfeld de Carakushansky of Brazil by USAL on February 13, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This honor was bestowed by USAL’s Rector, Dr. Juan Alejandro Tobias, after having been approved by the entire Congregacion of the University.

The honorary title came as the USAL announced that this Spring a two-year, Master-level college credit course entitled Forjando Liderazgo (Forging Leadership) will be launched. The course will be conducted through USAL’s Instituto de Prevencion de la Drogadependencia (Institute of Drug Dependency Prevention) and is modeled after curriculum developed by Drug Free America Foundation that has been presented throughout Latin America, in collaboration with the Drug Prevention Network of the Americas, for the past five years.. The curriculum incorporates components such as the preventive city concept, coalition-building and drug prevention strategies and tenets that have been implemented over many years throughout the Americas. Ms. Fay and Ms. Seinfeld de Carakushansky have been invited to return to USAL once a year to teach the course and share their knowledge and expertise.

Through the dedication and efforts of these two dynamic ladies, the positive impact of drug prevention education and coordinated global efforts will be seen for years to come in Latin America. Please join ITFSDP in congratu-lating newly named Professora Calvina L. Fay and Professora Mina Seinfeld de Carakushansky for their perseverance and ingenuity!

Project: SUNDIAL and ITFSDP Support the
50th Session of CND
Held on March 12-16, 2007     Vienna, Austria

The International Task Force on Strategic Policy is proud to support the efforts of our colleagues at Project: SUNDIAL. Project: SUNDIAL is an international collaboration whose goal is to garner support for the UN Conventions on Illicit Drug Abuse from NGOs and individuals around the world. In March 2007, delegates from around the world gathered in Vienna at the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND) conference. Several Task Force members and other supporters attended the session to reinforce our support for the work of the UN to curb illicit drug use and trafficking through a balanced policy.

The 2007 meeting was a prelude to a much larger meeting in New York City to take place in 2008 or 2009, the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS). In time for UNGASS, Project: SUNDIAL has set out to present delegates with more than a million signatures to show support for international goals against drug abuse.
