NSDUH is one of the only ways we can track trends in substance use in the US. NSDUH is one of the only ways we can track adolescent mental health problems in the US.

Date & time Mar 31, 2025, 4:00-5:30 pm EDT Add to Calendar How to attend Joan and Sanford Weill Hall Annenberg Auditorium 735 South State Street Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Mission Driven Bureaucrats argues that the key to better government lies not in stricter controls and more rigorous oversight but in empowerment and trust. Mission Driven Bureaucrats offers a roadmap for how governments can break from the status quo and cultivate a workforce of dedicated, empowered public servants. When bureaucrats are empowered to act on their mission-driven impulses, the results can be extraordinary. Managing more for empowerment - allowing autonomy, cultivating competence, and creating connection to peers and purpose - is often the path to better public performance and citizens’ welfare.

Hey folks, if you are in Ann Arbor next Monday (3/31, 4-5.30) please join me as I interview Dan Honig on his very timely new book "Mission Driven Bureaucrats." Free and open to the public, and would love to see a free-wheeling discussion about govt capacity. fordschool.umich.edu/event/2025/e...
