Jana Wolfgang
Jana is a native of Portland, Oregon. She earned her undergraduate degree from Princeton University, and subsequently received a Master’s of Science in Medical Technology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. This was followed by national certification as one of the first Substance Abuse Program Administrators (CSAPA) in the country. Before she began consulting with employers about drug-free workplace programs, she worked as a medical technologist, med tech educator, and technical writer. For the past 30 years, as owner of Wolfgang Associates, Inc., Jana has been involved in all aspects of this business. Her core work involves assisting employees with the return-to-work process after drug test problems as part of labor-management programs; developing and revising employer drug-free workplace policies; and training supervisors and managers in reasonable suspicion determinations. She finds helping both employees and employers to be very satisfying, and enjoys the fact that every day is different in this work, with fresh challenges all the time. In her free time, Jana reads, walks her dog, and sings in her church choir.
