Letter from Ronald J. Hunsicker, President/CEO of NAATP:
Lakeside-Milam Recovery Centers has been a valuable member of the
National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers since 1987. As
the largest addiction treatment provider in the Northwest,
Lakeside-Milam has provided the association with valuable insight into
the state of the art of chemical addiction treatment as well as
providing leadership in the campaign to raise the awareness of state
and national legislatures to the impacts of addiction on our economy.
We have valued Lakeside’s integrity and leadership so much that we
have asked their executives to serve on the board of NAATP. During the
early 1990’s Tom Armstrong, Senior Vice President of Lakeside, served
two terms on our board as did past President Charles Kester.
Lakeside-Milam’s current President, Carlton M. Kester, is serving his
second term as a board member.
