Executive Director

Sandee Burbank

is a founder and, since 1982, the executive director of Mothers Against Misuse and Abuse (MAMA).

Mother of two young adults, who were home schooled, she is active in her community, serving Wasco County for 18 years at the appointment of the County Commission on the Wasco County Planning Commission and other groups that address land use planning and criminal justice issues, recreation, and family advocacy. Sandee volunteers countless hours addressing many issues such as lack of access to drug treatment, mentoring young mothers, organizing fun activities, and advocating for social programs that teach people the skills they need to provide for their basic needs, i.e. adult literacy, job skills, decision making, and parenting skills.

Sandee is nationally recognized for her extensive efforts to reduce the harm from all drug use and the social harm caused by irrational and punitive drug policy. In recognition of her work, in 1997 the Drug Policy Foundation awarded her the prestigious Robert C. Randall Award for Achievement in the Field of Citizen Action.
