Through Mr. Jeffrey Quamme's bold and energetic leadership, the CCB has continued to foster and maintain the highest level of evidence-driven and compassionate care for people experiencing substance use disorders and mental illness who are striving to achieve recovery. On behalf of my patients and the public, I will be forever grateful to the persistent efforts of Jeff and the CCB.

A colleague and I were intrigued by one of Jeff’s workshops in 2022 and during participation, we knew we had to bring him to our region of Western PA. Jeff’s knowledge, experience, humor, and authenticity foster an immediate sense of connection for the trainee audience – his examples are relevant to the work and draw from real world experience. It’s refreshing to have a professional trainer who can relate beyond the limits of academia, and Jeff consistently delivers.

There is not one conversation that I have not personally had with Jeff that has not made myself or my organization better. I am grateful to have him as an advocate, mentor and friend. I would give my highest recommendation to anyone thinking of working and learning from him.
