Kidd sees his service on the board as an opportunity to give back to his community and knows firsthand the toll that fighting substance use disorder takes on family members: “I have personally experienced the cost and pain that loved ones suffer and see the pain of those afflicted. I am honored to be part of an organization that seeks to change the trajectory of the long-term substance abuse that is crippling our society.”
