Lori Criss one of 18 to recieve honors


Congratulations to our very own Lori Criss, Amethyst Chief Operating Officer. Lori has been accepted to SAMHSA’s (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Association) Women's Addiction Services Leadership Institute (WASLI). Lori is one of 18 in the U.S. to receive the honor in 2010.

She will be participating in the 6-month program that includes individualized leadership assessments, a 5-day immersion training, coaching, training and action learning. Upon the completion of WASLI, Lori will participate in a Graduation Webinar where each graduate can share their leadership projects and receive their certificate.

After graduation, Lori will get the chance to participate in the WASLI network for coaches and alumni which will allow her to keep a loosely knit association with fellow leaders in the field of women’s treatment.
The goal of WASLI is to strengthen the capacity of treatment organizations to meet the substance abuse treatment needs of women by:
• Developing and improving leadership skills of participants
• Creating a network of the next generation of leaders in women’s services
• Establishing a model of women’s leadership training
