Drug abuse and underage drinking are problems that plague most communities, and Tempe is no exception.
Tempe Coalition, a group focused on creating a drug-free environment for young people, has elected Craig Keller as its new board chairman.
Keller plans to focus on educating parents on tools they can use in the fight against underage drinking and drug use.
“There is no greater cause than to protect Tempe’s youth from the danger and destruction of drug use and underage drinking,” said Keller.
“The Tempe Coalition will continue in its efforts to keep our youth safe through education and awareness on a community level.”
Keller is actively involved in organizations that focus on youth in the Tempe area.
He has been a Tempe Coalition member for four years, volunteered his time with Tempe Sister Cities for the past nine years and served as chairman for the Tempe Sister Cities student selection committee for the past four years.
Keller attended the University of Arizona, where he was affiliated with Phi Beta Kappa. He graduated with highest distinction from the UofA College of Law in 1982 and attended Harvard Law School’s Program of Instruction for Lawyers.
