The Steering Committee of the Genesee-Orleans-Wyoming Opioid Task Force is comprised of local leaders committed to ending the Opioid Crisis in the GOW region. The purpose of the Steering Committee is to provide direction and guidance to the GOW Opioid Task Force. All three counties in the region are represented on the Steering Committee and great effort is made to ensure cross-county collaboration, communication, and support occurs.
