The city of Henderson is accepting applications through July 31 for individuals interested in serving on an opioid settlement advisory board.
At its July meeting, the Henderson City Council voted unanimously to create an advisory board upon a recommendation from interim City Manager Kendrick Vann.
Vann stated that other cities and towns have formed advisory boards to provide direction on how to allocate funds from the multi-billion dollar opioid settlement.
Prospective advisory board members include individuals with professional backgrounds in drug addiction/treatment, health care and mental health and public health fields.
