Kurt Gregory Erickson
Kurt Gregory Erickson serves as President and CEO of the nonprofit and Washington Regional Alcohol Program (WRAP). Founded in 1982, WRAP is an award-winning public-private partnership working to prevent drunk driving and underage drinking in the Washington-metropolitan area. WRAP may best be known to Greater Washington residents via the organization’s popular free safe ride service for would-be drunk drivers, SoberRide®. In addition to serving as CEO, lead public affairs strategist and registered multi-state lobbyist for the nationally-heralded coalition, Erickson also serves as Project Director of Maryland and Virginia’s Checkpoint Strikeforce campaign – a 16-year, research-based, multi-state and zero-tolerance initiative designed to get impaired drivers off our roads using checkpoints and patrols when and where drunk driving is most likely to occur, and to educate the public about the dangers and consequences of drunk driving.
