As the Coordinator for the Problem-Solving Court in District 1, Amanda VanAsperen was instrumental in the expansion of drug courts throughout the 10 counties within her district.  VanAsperen helped organize a town hall meetings to explain drug courts to area stakeholders including attorneys, law enforcement, and county commissioners. She also attended multiple individual county commissioners’ meetings to explain interlocal agreements, and describe budgets.

Amanda, thank you from each of your 5,558 square miles and 10 counties.  You have handled the expansion and additional work with the utmost professionalism.
