  • Clarify their personal or group vision
  • Learn how to seize the right opportunities
  • Recognize and leverage resources
  • Actualize a workable plan towards a goal
  • Recalibrate or shift when things don't go as planned

"Ending Human Trafficking, the more we know, the more we can help"

Speaker: Pam Strickland

Monday, May 16, 9am - 10:30am

North Carolina has the 9th highest prevalence of human trafficking of all 50 states and South Carolina is 22nd. We'll talk about why our states are hotspots, what human trafficking looks like in our areas, and how we can work together to ensure that our events and venues are human trafficking-free. 

Join the anti-human trafficking movement in NC.
