Meet Our Board of Directors

Board Member

Jack Smith

A Compassionate Leader and Advocate for Change that can only come from overcoming his own battles with meth and opioid addiction, and wanting to help others in similar situations.

As a proud member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, Jack brings a unique perspective and unwavering dedication to our board. A devoted father, licensed realtor, peer support specialist, and partner with the nonprofit organization Rise Above, Jack's commitment to serving others is truly inspiring.

Through his podcast 'Diary of an Addict,' Jack shares his journey and wisdom, while giving others the platform to share their own experiences, stories, and strength, believing that everything happens for a reason. His personal mantra reflects his mission to guide others through life's storms and empower young people to navigate their paths with resilience and strength.

Jack's vision is clear: to be the mentor and support system he wished for in his own struggles, making a positive impact on those around him and shaping a brighter future for all.
