Strategic partnerships The organization acts as a statewide representative for Ohio’s county behavioral health authorities and collaborates with multiple state agencies and coalitions, indicating opportunities to offer policy, program, or technology solutions that align with statewide mental health and addiction initiatives.

Funding leverage With a revenue range of 1M to 10M and boards funded by federal, state, local government and levies, there is potential to present cost-saving or grant-compatible solutions that help optimize funding utilization and program delivery for ADAMH boards.

Tech modernization Current tech stack includes standard enterprise tools (Microsoft 365, Bootstrap, Cloudflare, Apache) and engagement tools (Constant Contact, jQuery). There is room to propose security, data analytics, CRM, and communications enhancements tailored to public health networks.

Event-driven partnerships Active involvement in hosting statewide conferences (e.g., Opiate and Other Drugs Conference) suggests receptivity to sponsorships, educational platforms, training software, and event management solutions that support large-scale public health events.

Public sector focus The association’s mandate to work with Ohio government bodies and ensure service availability regardless of ability to pay indicates a need for scalable, compliant solutions for public sector delivery, including grant management, reporting, and interoperability with state systems.
