The Safe States Alliance and the Society for
Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR) joined forces to host
a dynamic and collaborative national meeting experience. The 2013 National
Meeting was also hosted by the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury
Research and Policy, and was held at the Sheraton Baltimore City Center
Hotel from June 5-7, 2013, in Baltimore, MD.
During the National Meeting, we celebrated the accomplishments that have
increased the safety of communities in the present day, while also building on
these achievements to create a safer and healthier future. We also
celebrated the 20th Anniversary of the Safe States Alliance.
