APRC Advisory Council

The Alcohol Policy Resource Center Advisory Council

Underage drinking is not simply a problem for families or youth; it is a concern for communities throughout Illinois. The consequences of underage drinking can affect everyone. We all feel the effects of aggressive behavior, property damage, injuries, violence, and deaths that can result from underage drinking.

Often, communities consider their alcohol environment as established and unchangeable. But communities can create, change, or strengthen their own alcohol environment by developing local alcohol policies to reduce underage drinking and alcohol misuse.

What We Do

• Bring together local elected officials, law enforcement representatives, and stakeholders in community substance abuse prevention and community health.
• Advisory Council members will provide expertise, perspective, guidance, and focused input on marketing, resource development, and visibility.
• The Council will assist the APRC in advancing alcohol policies, ordinances, and law enforcement strategies in local communities throughout Illinois.
