 * Youth (18 or younger)
 * Parent
 * Business
 * Media
 * School
 * Youth-serving organization
 * Law enforcement
 * Religious/Fraternal organization
 * Civic/Volunteer groups (i.e., local organizations committed to volunteering, not a coalition member designated as a "volunteer")
 * Healthcare professional
 * State, local, or tribal governmental agency with expertise in the field of substance abuse (including, if applicable, the State agency with primary authority for substance abuse)
 * Other organization involved in reducing substance abuse

//(21 USC 1531 §1032 (a)(2)(A))//

An individual who is a member of the coalition may serve on the coalition as a representative of not more than one sector category. //(21 USC 1531 §1032 (a)(2)(C))//
