Today, Nevada Attorney General Aaron D. Ford announced plans to appoint six members to two advisory bodies: the Substance Use Response Group (SURG) and the Advisory Committee on Resiliency and Nevada (ACRN). These appointments follow the passage of Assembly Bill 19 during the 83rd Legislative Session in 2025.
Attorney General Ford is tasked with making two appointments to SURG and four to ACRN. Both groups are integral to Nevada’s strategy for addressing substance use disorders and enhancing community resilience.
“These advisory positions represent an opportunity for qualified Nevadans to make a meaningful impact on our state’s response to substance use challenges,” said AG Ford. “I’m looking for individuals with diverse expertise and lived experience who can work collaboratively with state agencies, local organizations, and community stakeholders to develop and implement effective strategies for prevention, treatment, and recovery support.”
The positions within SURG are voluntary, with no compensation provided.
Interested candidates should contact Terry Kerns, Substance Abuse/Law Enforcement Coordinator, via email at TKerns@ag.nv.gov by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, July 18, 2025.
