MFD Chief Aaron Lipski, RISE Drug Free MKE Chair
RISE Drug Free MKE fills a very key void throughout Milwaukee County, intentionally pulling together a diverse group of individuals from the public, private, and non-profit sectors in a unified effort to prevent and reduce substance use and misuse. I am proud of my involvement with RISE Drug Free MKE, am honored to have been selected by the membership to Chair the Coalition, and, due in large part to the depth and breadth of dedication and expertise of our partners, I am hopeful for our future.
