Chris,

Thank you so much for the training session yesterday.  We all learned a lot and we appreciate your time and the effort you made to reach out to and provide training for us.  That’s some scary stuff for sure but certainly information we need to know.  Glad you’re on our team and thanks for your support.

Thank you for presenting “Working Drug Free in Georgia” to our small businesses this morning.   We had so many positive comments.  
The Greater Hall Chamber is proud to be  a part of the Drugs Don’t Work program for many years.

I am sorry I could not attend the program this morning.  We want to spread the word to businesses about the Workman’s Compensation

Hi Karen, good morning! I hope you had a good weekend. Last Friday, we received a really lovely note from an attendee and I wanted to pass it your way:

Happy Friday!
Thank you for offering this course.
Unfortunately I have experienced first hand from my family member. I still think about the signs that I did not realize or acknowledge. ☹
 
The session last Friday was so helpful! I feel so much better as a source to help prevent this from happening to another soul.
I plan on looking up local Suicide Prevention app for Burbank/ LA area and will add to my son(15yr old, who just started attending in person HS) and my phone to be ready to offer support.
 
Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for offering this session to employees!

Thank you again for your help in facilitating these sessions!

Warmly,

Karen,

Thank you so much for presenting in our meeting today.  It was very insightful and informative.  It actually made me aware of some things I need to tighten up on in my role as the HR Director.  I also had a couple of staff members express an interest in the Suicide prevention training you mentioned.  I would love to hear more about it when you have a chance.

Thanks again,
Tasha

Thank you, Liz.  We have been members ever since I started in 2004, so likely a few years before that.  When COVID hit, our employee drivers/aides were furloughed, and it didn’t make sense at that moment to renew.  
We like the designation as a Drug Free Workplace and the fact that we can positively educate our employees with a 3rd party.  It ads credibility to our message and I believe emphasizes the importance of staying drug free as an employee.  Thanks again.

Congrats on your work anniversary! From an old friend in Woodstock Ga, who appreciates the program, Drugs Don't Work you administer and the effects you've caused on Businesses in Ga. I had metal working shops with a ridiculous amount of Workers Comp claims, until they got on your program, Drugs Don't Work....and the safety increased so much, the claims went to zero !!! Thanks, God bless You for the difference your life has made in this and the reduction in co's Workers Comp costs !!!

Thank you so much, Karen!  

I attended the event both in Orlando and here in Atlanta.  It is amazing the meat that was presented yesterday that really spoke to the real-life application of the Clearinghouse.  I am glad I attended the Atlanta event because the speakers offered valuable information that strengthened my understanding of the complexities involved with the actual process from different perspectives.  

Thank you so much for being an integral part of the education process.  It makes changes like this less scary and more approachable.

Dear Mrs. Tinker:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for speaking at the 2018 Georgia Mining Association and Georgia Construction Aggregate Association Safety Alliance Workshop. Our 460 attendees were thrilled with your presentation and we enjoyed having you in our company the day that you spoke.

As part of our evaluations for our workshops, we ask our attendees to rate the speakers that we have as a part of our seminar.  I am pleased to let you know that you received 3.99 out of a 1-5 rating. That is wonderful for our tough crowd! Comments that we received included, "Excellent and Informative", "Very professional and helpful", "Brought a lot of awareness. Thank you.", and "Great topic and very knowledgeable".

Enclosed is a small token of our appreciation in the form of a donation. Again, we sincerely thank you for the excellent job that you did for us. You truly touched a number of miners here in Georgia.

Best Regards,

Good morning Karen,

Thank you for a very educational 2-days, including for me. Don’t be surprised if you receive an invitation to Georgia Electric Cooperative’s HR Spring Conference next year. I haven’t witnessed a safety meeting recently where a few linemen were not dozing off, though you had everyone’s attention. (No excuse but they have a 7 am session before our general session at 8 am so it’s tough for the outside guys.) Your presentation style was different the two days and the delivery on both were extremely effective.

The training you provided yesterday was engaging, interactive and informative.  Our supervisors were receptive to your training approach of using statistics, compliance, personal stories, pictures, and actual examples of drug paraphernalia.  Your passion in the prevention & intervention was genuinely reflected in your presentation.  Thank you for partnering with us not only on certification for the Drug-Free Workplace Program but educating our supervisors on real world effects of substance & alcohol abuse.

Staci,
You are welcome. I still remember how helpful you were in getting our program off the ground. I appreciate all you do. Sometimes it is a grinding battle, however. Finding employees not impaired is a challenge these days. Additionally the recreational drug use laws being passed in the states are making things an even greater challenge. I am hopeful that our drug issues can continue to be managed, however, the challenges seem greater every day. I applaud all the Council does and look forward to future success for you and all businesses.
Best,

Karen,

Thank you for coming to Jackson, TN and provide training to our Supervisors on Substance Abuse. As you know Chuck came to us in January and talked with all of our employees on this subject and I contacted him for guidance regarding a speaker for our supervisors and he recommended you. His recommendation was all that I needed to be confident that the training would go well. Certainly, I was not disappointed. The message you delivered was perfect for these times. You continued to challenge the supervisors to be observant, remind them of their responsibility, and the cost to the organization if we do not.

Your interactive delivery method was perfect for our team because they typically just sit back and listen. The attendees knew from the start that they may be asked to participate. You captured the audience attention; they learned, and enjoyed the process.

Karen, your expertise was front and center and it was a pleasure to do business with you and I look forward to doing business with you again soon.

Sincerely,

Chuck,

Thank you for working with me and making the trip to Jackson, TN to speak to our team members.  Your message was so impactful and life changing.  I'm certain that I do not have adequate words to express the excellence of your presentation and the gratitude of my heart.  Compliance Training has been a consistent struggle for me.  Some of our employees are not excited about our yearly mandatory meetings.  Even though we've had some good speakers in the past, many employees think it's drudgery to attend.

Somehow, I knew that this year would be different.  I was filled with excitement and anticipation but did not really share that with others, kind of wanted it to sneak-up on them!  LOL!  Even though I knew your presentation would be great, since I'd heard some of it, I also knew it would be different being live with our audience.  When you began your talk it was so obvious that you were serious, committed and brilliant.  That trio was captivating and the audience was spellbound!  I've received so many compliments about you.  Time and time again we remind our folks not to do drugs, etc..., etc...  This time was different.  It hit home, made us pause and some are beginning their own crusade against drugs.  WOW!

It's been such a joy working with you and meeting you and I know that I'll keep in-touch and will probably be asking for advice and suggestions for our meeting next year.

May you continue this worthwhile work and see the fruits of our labor.

Sincerely,

Pat Berry

You’re highly regarded around here.  I’m continuing to receive wonderful comments about your presentation.  Truly so grateful for you coming to talk with us. I’ve sent you a letter in the mail.  You mentioned your PowerPoint and I cannot find it on the web.  If you can, send me the link to the PowerPoint.  Our video techs are working on the taped recording and says the PowerPoint does not show well in the background, so they asked if I had it. Anyway, if you cannot provide it, not a problem.

Have a blessed year!

We had Karen Tinker as a guest speaker to a manager training event in November. She was a phenomenal speaker and very well educated on the subject or drug use/abuse in the workplace and in general. I received numerous positive statements from attendees on how well done her presentation was and what a great help it would be to each of them in their management/supervisory roles. She did a great job of covering the subject manner and was impressive with her knowledge of abuse drugs in the workplace setting. We would recommend her and enjoy having her come back again!

Below is a comment from the class the other day.  The individual went home talked with her husband who has a company in Ellijay, and today I am sending them a packet…it doesn’t matter to me that it was Ellijay instead of Blue Ridge….it matters, that it mattered to them.  But I wanted to share with you her comment.  Says a lot for you and for the program that you run.  Thanks again for all you do to help make us all safe.

“Thanks, Dianne.  I agree.  Everyone should hear Chuck’s presentation.  It really had me almost in tears over the state of our nation.  He is a great authentic spokesperson for the program.  This is such a need, I will be glad to help in any way I can.”

Karen,

I just wanted to take time to thank you for assisting me (HRWP) with our New Entrant Audit with USDOT in the last quarter of 2014. Unfortunately, our USDOT Audit was extremely cumbersome and exhausting with all the additional information requests that were requested. It is hard enough starting a new business without having the added burden of dealing with folks that are unprofessional in government positions. Had it not been for you (The Council on Alcohol and Drugs) going out of your way to assist HRWP with the additional information requests with USDOT, HRWP may still be in an "Out of Service" status. So...I wanted to take a moment to say a huge "Thank You" for all your help!!! I would highly recommend The Council on Alcohol and Drugs to both new and/or returning customers.
Thanks again and Happy New Year!!!!!

I don't think anyone looked forward to sitting through a two-hour verbal presentation about Drug-free workplace. But I must say that I was not even aware of the time. The speaker was amazingly good to present for two hours and not bore anyone. The presentation was excellent. I and my staff enjoyed this learning and experience.

I received your information in the mail and am very impressed. I do have a few questions for you. Do you know if Live Drug Free has an affiliate in Arizona? Do you know of any such program in Arizona? I have searched on line, made calls etc. I am not finding something comparable here. If you know of anything equivalent in Arizona, could you let me know? Thank you.

Good Morning Mr. Wade,

I attended the seminar yesterday for Supervisors & Department Heads for Habersham County. You spoke about how you & your wife did random drug testing on your children. Can you tell me how I would go about finding the kits to do this. Also you mentioned your children signed a contract at the age of 12, how would I go about finding something like that to use. Any information you have would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you for a great presentation yesterday! You truly brought out some things to me that I didn’t realize and I will definitely be talking to my children about drugs.

Hey Karen,

I just wanted to thank you for your help this week. We became a Drug Free Workplace earlier this year and with your help, put in place a Substance Abuse Policy and implemented pre-employment drug testing. Just this week, we had a concern that one of our employees may have violated the policy. I’m so glad I thought to call you for some advice. You were able to point me to some forms on your website that we could use to ensure we stayed in compliance with the policy and were then able to act on our concern without imposing any undue liability on our company. I called you a few times as the issue was unfolding and you walked me through each step of it. At one point, you even offered to check with your legal counsel and reported your findings back to me. I certainly couldn’t have handled this issue with such confidence without your guidance. This reaffirms that our decision to join the DFWP program with the backing of the Council on Alcohol & Drugs was a wise one.

Thanks again for partnering with us.

Hi Chuck,

Hope everything is going well for you this summer. I have been promoting the drug free workplace program with our customers that are not yet participating. Last week I talked to Staci to get some help for a customer with over 900 employees and growing. Staci was able to help me confirm they already have the testing requirements in place, so I gave them assistance with the training requirements and certification process. The customer was very happy and I want you to know that Staci’s very timely assistance was critical in the moment.

Would you please send me more of the materials that you sent me a few months ago including:

Thanks so much for your presentation last night. Jenny was right; I did learn quite a few things. The drug epidemic is definitely out of control and I believe, we as employers, can make a huge impact.

I would love to have a copy of the supervisor’s training CD.

Evening Chuck,

Just completed viewing the training DVD. One word, AWESOME!!

You captured the stats very well; you kept the compassion from beginning to end wonderfully, most DVD’s get slow or boring by the end of the session but not this one. We already are certified as a ‘DFW’ and will be recertifying in August, the DVD was very helpful. There are questions I have but I will go on the website for those answers as I know you are a very busy man. This will be my first year with the company for recertification and I want to make sure I’ve done my part to remain in compliance as a DFW company. Again thank you so much!!

We are in the process of arranging this event at our new Calhoun High School. Your name came up in the planning of this event and of course we all agreed that we would love for you to come. When you came and spoke at the parent event last year for Calhoun Schools there was great feedback. Would you check your calendar and see if you are available to speak on Thursday, October 10. The event will begin at 12 noon and end at 2 p.m. We are still pulling details together so if you are able to come I can fill you in on the details.

Thank you for all you and your organization do to help our communities. The more I learn the deeper my appreciation is for you and your team and your hard work. Have a great day.

Kim Gallman
Gordon County Chamber of Commerce

Hi Chuck,

Your help was invaluable – we even mention you in our upcoming presentation and quoted you a number of times in our report. I will go online tonight and make a donation and I will email this to the others that worked on the project in case they want to participate as well. It was a delight to work with you and I am so pleased to have someone as passionate as you working to make things better for both kids and adults by promoting a drug-free lifestyle.

Thanks again, and hopefully I will get a chance to work with you some day in the future. Merry Christmas,

Chuck, we received the DVD’s. Much thanks. I watched one this PM, and I just wanted to tell you what a great educator you are. My ex-husband was an alcoholic, and it was due to a drug awareness presentation at his workplace that he was finally motivated to seek help. It has been a lifelong struggle for him, and he did finally lose his job, but he has been sober for 3 years now and is extremely active in AA. Before I moved to Atlanta in 2001 from Columbus, GA, for 11 years I was an office manager for a psychiatric practice with 2 physicians who were both Board-Certified in Addiction Medicine. One physician was the Medical Director for The Bradley Center, a local treatment center there, so I have some experience with this problem, and I commend you for the work you are doing. It is so important.

Good Morning Steve,

I just wanted to say thanks again for coming down Friday and speaking to my group. I have had several emails and phone calls since then saying how much they enjoyed hearing you speak and if you were available to do that again! You are in high demand in Statesboro and Savannah now! I have held many roundtables and I have to agree that was the most interesting one thanks to you and your mullet pictures, hahahaha! Sorry couldn’t resist! Hope you enjoyed Statesboro and we hope to see you again soon.

People are still talking about it & wanting your contact information! If you ever need a recommendation, which I doubt you do, do let us know. We hope this tiny token of appreciation for your out of the box and above and beyond interest and labor just helps you know how much we do appreciate it.

Hi Chuck,

I ordered and received your drug free work place DVD a couple of months ago and we used it at our facility in September to do our drug free training. I thought it was an excellent training DVD and suggested my 2 sister homes also use it. At one of the other homes, the DVD got cracked and will no longer play. I am requesting the DVD for each of our homes who do not have one including myself. We will be glad to pay for the DVD’s or make a donation because we have had someone from ………………… come every year and speak to us but we all learned more from your DVD and found it to be much more interesting. Could I get you to send a DVD to each of the parties listed below and send me another since mine was cracked.

Thank you so much!

Good Morning Mr. Wade,

I have heard a lot of wonderful things about you. I have spoken to the Greene County chamber, and would love the opportunity to have you speak at our business for the drug free workplace program. We are more than willing to open our doors to any other business that would like to participate. There is an urgency in getting this first session complete as we would really like to turn in our application, to get the savings on our insurance policies. Please let me know if there is any way that we can work together to put this event on the calendar. If not that is OK as well. In that case can you please point me in the right direction to get the required hours necessary to turn in the application. I do hope that we are able to hear you speak and continue to build a working relationship with one another.

With best regards,

Chuck,

We attended your training seminar yesterday in Lawrenceville and I must say it was one of the best presentations I have been to in the last 38 years. Very well presented and a lot of useful information. The best part was that you included Jesus in your message. Wow, when have I ever heard his name used in a business training seminar? Keep up the good work and let’s get the drug / crime problem in America under control.

Please forward the DVD’s for supervisor and employee training and the training manual to us. We will most likely order the news letter from you in the near future.

Thanks again for a great seminar.

I work as a safety instructor for Oconee Fall Line Technical College in Sandersville, Ga. We have 3 MSHA instructors that train about 6,000 miners a year. I would love to share this information with some off the companies we train and maybe help you guys out. Please send me the free DVD you mentioned. Thank you so much and I hope this will continue to be a success!

Hi Chuck,

I have heard you speak several times and am always mesmerized by your stories. I am a member of the Steering Committee of Cobb Executive Women and would like to invite you to speak at our November meeting. I know that’s a ways out, but we try to plan our programs for the entire year. The meeting is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Friday, November 9 at the Georgian Club, and we will treat you to a great lunch! You would have the opportunity to speak for about 20 minutes to 35-40 of Cobb County’s top executive women from organizations like Southern Tech, Gas South, YWCA, etc. When I mentioned this at our planning meeting, several of them were unaware of your program but were very interested in learning about it. I know 20 minutes is not enough time to fully explain your program but hopefully you have a scaled down version of your talk.

Hi Mr. Wade,

Just wanted to let you know Bobby really enjoyed the seminar this morning. He was really excited. Wish I could have been there but I live in South Carolina, kind of difficult to drive for a couple of hours. Anyway, I know you sent me the form to sign up for your workbook or releases at one time, but could you send it to me again so I can pay the fee and get us started in the right direction on this. Do you accept American Express as payment or do we need to send you a check? Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Chuck.

We attended your seminar at HB Training on a Drug Free Work Place. After listening to your presentation (that I was very impressed with) and then returning to the office, I was telling my Dad about it and I would recommend you to anybody wanting a presentation on Drugs Don't Work. After our discussion my Dad was talking to somebody at our church (Smyrna1st UMC) who is in charge of a new program dealing with Drugs & Alcohol and he was very interested in getting in touch with you about doing a presentation. So what I guess I'm asking is my Dad would like to call you and see how to set this up.

Thanks!

I just left the luncheon that was held at Spaulding Regional Women’s center. You are a wonderful speaker. I would like to ask you for the free information that you mentioned. We are located in Butts County, is that where I need to get a list of counselors? We are a trucking company and have employees from Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Would I need to get a counselor for the specific region? Your DVD’s went fast so if I could get one each on Supervisor Training and Employee Training that would be great.

Thanks again.

Hi Chuck,

I hope you are doing well. You may recall doing a presentation for the American Society of Safety Engineers Conference in Atlanta, GA a couple of years ago. Question: Would you be interested in doing one in Jacksonville, FL next March? We would really like to have you there, because I think your presentation is one that everyone can relate to. If you can’t do it because it is out of state, perhaps you have a counterpart down there?

Thanks for your consideration.

Hey Chuck, before another day goes by, I wanted to thank you for one of the best coordinators’ meetings we have had! It was most informative and a great learning day. It was fun to see downtown Atlanta after so many years. Thank you for all you, Leann and Simone do. Ron is presently on vacation, but we briefly discussed how can we not only can be of better assistance to our Chamber DDW members, but how can we work closer with the Council? How do the other Chambers work with you? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We didn’t have time to visit this time, but I did catch about your father. Hope all is well with him and you. Take care and keep up the good work! I’m personally still very interested in the Alabama idea as well.

I wanted to take a moment to let you know we used your DVD to facilitate our drug free training for our work place this year. Most of my employees asked if they could get a copy of the DVD (for all employees) so they could share it with children and grand-children. Would it be possible to order that many copies from you? It made a big impression on them. The DVD is much appreciated as is your commitment to helping us keep all of our employees and their families drug free.

Thank you to the Johns Creek Chamber for organizing the Drugs Don’t Work Workshop. This workshop couldn’t have come at a better time for me and my business because I have been researching the benefits of drug testing employees for some time now. Chuck Wade, President & CEO of the Drugs Don’t Work Organization was quite an engaging speaker not only did he answer our many questions, but he provided all the information needed to get certified by the state in 6 simple steps. Chuck also promises to hold your attention throughout the entire process. His personal work experience as an ex-narcotics agent was so interesting, and the facts that he brought to the table were absolutely unbelievable. I believe this workshop will not only save my company money on our Workmen’s Compensation Insurance but it will also save time & money in the hiring process by providing AtHomeNet with employees who will come to work and be productive because they don’t have drug issues. I feel every employer should take the time to attend the Drugs Don’t Work Workshop, the benefits will pay you back ten-fold. Because I was so impressed with Chuck and his program(s) I am going to work with the chamber to bring parents of teens together to attend a 16 Step Education Program to keep our kids off drugs.

Sincerely,

Kathy Driscoll

You mentioned this morning that there is a website which allows for certification online. Would you mind sending me that address? Thanks so much! Jessica Bolyard Ashmore Concrete Contractors

Tell me how we can put your link on our website (and send me a .jpg of your logo) so we can help you spread the word.

This workshop was fantastic. I got more out of this workshop than any I have ever attended. Kudos to Chuck Wade! I learned that I have not been getting the Supervisor's Newsletter nor all of the employee newsletters. I was wondering if you could possibly send me 2011 supervisors and employee newsletters via email? Also, quick question- how can I find out my status (0 tolerance? etc.) and how many years have we been certified. I am new to my position and cannot locate that info. Thanks for your help.

Staci, the drug kits are very user friendly. We did random drug testing on March 23, and the test kits performed well. Our cost for testing 10 employees was $140.00 compared to $350.00 if we had used an outside agency to do the test. That alone is a $210.00 savings for the city. In these days of cost cuts, hiring freezes, and fuel prices any amount saved adds up. Thanks again for all your help and support.

I would like to have some of the drug free DVD's to show to our school children to know about the facts in Drugs. And I would like to have some posters and stickers to paste in our society's notice board. Hope your org will help our school. Please send those to this address if you can.

Hi Chuck,

I'm Rogene T. Palacios, Human Resource Employee Relations Coordinator of PanAsiatic Call Centers, Inc. located at East Block, Circumferential Road, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental, Philippines. I’ve read in the internet that you provide drug free workplace poster, window stickers and door stickers, and an employee and supervisor training DVD. This is the thrust of our company to have drug-free workplace. I hope that you will consider my request. Thank you very much and looking forward to hear from you soon.

Best Regards
