Alex Price

Consulting firm specializing in community relations, communications, philanthropy & PR. 20+ years of experience and expertise in corporate, non-profit, and public sectors.

Alex is the Interim CEO of Project Opioid Florida, one of America’s leading advocacy groups working to solve the overdose crisis. Project Opioid was founded in 2018, and has made an enormous impact in Florida saving lives in the face of the rapid escalation of fentanyl. Despite the progress, over 7,000 Floridians still die each year from opioid-related overdoses—an avoidable and unacceptable tragedy that we must continue to aggressively take on. I look forward to working with Project Opioid Florida’s board, staff and community partners to expand and deepen this work throughout Florida.
