Message from the Chair

Greetings from Wisconsin!

My name is Vicki Huntington and I am the Chair of the TCN Executive Committee, serving alongside the other Officers and Representatives elected by TCN members. I am also the Section Chief/State Program Manager of the Wisconsin Commercial Tobacco Prevention and Treatment Program and am so pleased to serve as TCN Chair for the 2025-2026 term. In doing so, I aim to do my very best to represent the collective voice of state and territorial tobacco control staff nationwide.

TCN has established a robust and strategic agenda that represents initiatives thoughtfully developed by you and your peers that we believe will contribute to advancing our tobacco control efforts. The Tobacco Control Network (TCN) gives you an opportunity to:

  • Network with your colleagues, learn about national happenings, and share policy and programming strategies. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
  • Have a voice with national tobacco control organizations. The Network often serves as an adviser and a resource for national partners on state needs and perspectives.
  • Keep informed with tools like our newsletter and website.

As you encounter changes, challenges, and opportunities, the TCN is here to facilitate learning from each other, provide support to state tobacco control programs, and to strengthen our network and our voice in public health. I look forward to connecting with you through the TCN!

Thank you for the important work you do every day. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and let us know how we can support you in your work!

Sincerely,

Vicki Huntington TCN Chair, 2025-2026

TCN’s 2022 Policy Recommendations contain specific priorities and guidance for effective tobacco control by state and territorial health agencies.
