For more than a decade, Sultan resident Joe Neigel has worked to improve the health of communities throughout Snohomish County using focused, evidence-based strategies meant to help prevent young people from abusing drugs and alcohol.
Last year, after nearly 11 years as a prevention coordinator with Snohomish County, Neigel shifted gears and went to work as a prevention specialist for Monroe Public Schools. His decision came on the heels of the county’s announcement it would no longer serve as the fiscal agent for the grant-funded Monroe Community Coalition, a nonprofit prevention group that Neigel has headed up since its inception in 2013.
Monroe Public Schools stepped forward to serve as the group’s fiscal agent, and Neigel was offered a full-time position, so as to preserve his role as the coalition coordinator.
