This presentation will highlight trends in how communities across the nation are currently implementing this model program, including:

• why communities choose to implement CMCA;

• how CMCA is funded;

• community organizing and mobilization strategies;

• common strategies for reducing underage commercial and social access to alcohol;

• ways in which young people are currently being engaged; and

• which community sectors are commonly engaged in CMCA implementation.
