I am always looking for ways to better serve those who have been touched by it, and I am so happy to bring the experiences and knowledge I have gained back to a workplace that feels like home.”

George has served on many task forces and boards related to addiction and recovery, including the planning committee for the Boston Provider Liaison Association, a successful networking group for those working in the addiction treatment and behavioral health industry.
