Committed to Helping Youth Avoid Alcohol and Drugs

HC DrugFree is a nonprofit organization that aims to empower the community to eliminate the abuse and illegal use of alcohol and other drugs among youth. In collaboration with other organizations and through outreach, HC DrugFree provides educational programs and resources to parents, youth, educators and the community

Our speaker this week, Joan Webb Scornaienchi has served as HC DrugFree's Executive Director since August 2009. With more than 20 years in higher education, her background includes extensive experience as a grants and education program specialist with the Maryland State Department of Education. Early in her career, she served as a drug and alcohol prevention specialist for a county-funded hospital program. Among her many recognitions, in 2012 the Daily Record named Joan as One of Maryland’s Top 100 Women as well as One of Maryland's Most Admired CEO’s. Also in 2012, she received Howard County’s Celebrating Successes for Children Award in the High School Category for her work on behalf of high school students and their parents. Joan is passionate about keeping Howard County youth safe.
