News   Partnership President Fred Muench Shares Journey to Recovery “Drawing closer to my one-year anniversary as CEO, I wanted to share with our families and partners a little bit about who I am, along with the goals for the Partnership moving forward. Now that I have had time to dive in and absorb all of the great work we are doing, I am even more passionate about all we can do to ensure that families can find help and hope when facing a loved one’s addiction and that all individuals can live meaningful and engaging lives.
