SUMMARY:A Framework for Freedom Creating Partnerships to Combat Modern Slavery
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel during National Slavery and Human Trafficking Prevention Month to discuss the critical role that public-private partnerships play in eradicating modern slavery. \nLocal and federal law enforcement are crucial partners in combating human trafficking\, yet there are few organizations that focus their resources on collaborating with these agencies by providing the tools and knowledge required for effective prevention\, investigation\, and prosecution-related measures and policies. This program will provide an opportunity for the public to hear directly from a survivor and from a panel of experts dedicated to fighting this crime\, while highlighting the value that Grace Farms Foundation provides through anti-trafficking law enforcement training and capacity building. \nPanel Participants \nLieutenant Terry Blake\, Norwalk Police Department \nDonna Hubbard\, Survivor \nRod Khattabi\, Chief Accountability Officer and Justice Initiative Director \nAlina Reynolds\, General Counsel and Senior Advisor to the Justice Initiative

SUMMARY:In Pursuit of Flourishing Life | Is College the Key?
DESCRIPTION:Join us as Dr. Matthew Croasmun\, Grace Farms Foundation’s Faith Initiative Director and Lecturer of Humanities at Yale University\, Dr. Karen E. Eshoo\, Head of School at King School\, and Dr. Frank Bartolomeo\, Director of Adolescent Services at Silver Hill Hospital\, lead a discussion about how the college prep and application processes can reveal and shape both parents’ and students’ visions of flourishing life. \nAs colleges become ever more competitive\, the admissions process can generate an enormous amount of pressure and anxiety. In the midst of these pressures\, the initially motivating desire to pursue a college education – a flourishing life – can be subverted. Hear from different perspectives and explore how we can better help young people enter this next stage of their lives equipped to flourish not just in their endeavors\, but as human beings.

SUMMARY:Navigating New Pathways
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community gathering of women considering the next stage in their professional and personal journey. \nLed by Jamie Renwick and Sophie Koven of Tide Risers\, this narrative workshop will guide you through exploring new opportunities\, sharing your unique experiences\, and connecting with local women from diverse backgrounds. \nJamie Renwick \nIn 2019\, Jamie launched Tide Risers Fairfield County\, a year-long cohort experience for women leaders committed to the greater good. She serves as the Lead Facilitator for Tide Risers Fairfield County. \nJamie has worked as a fundraising professional for more than two decades\, with clients including Teach for America-CT\, The East Harlem School\, The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library\, Squash Haven\, Billion Oyster Project\, Weill Cornell Medicine\, iMentor\, Prospect Park Alliance\, Newark Charter School Fund and the Brooklyn Community Foundation. Previously\, she lived in London and worked for Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in development; was the Campaign Director for PAVE Academy Charter School’s $12 million capital campaign in Brooklyn; and served as Director of Development at Harlem Children’s Zone. Jamie was also the Associate Director of Major Gifts at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College during the Hospital’s $1 billion campaign and the Medical College’s $750 million campaign. She also worked for Student Sponsor Partners\, Central Park Conservancy\, and a congressional campaign in South Carolina. \nJamie holds a BA from Duke University and lives in Greenwich\, Connecticut with her husband and three girls. \n  \nSophie Koven \nAfter twenty years working in real estate and economic development\, and starting and running two businesses\, Sophie decided to start a mediation practice. Her experience as a lawyer\, consultant\, and business founder prompted her to focus on conflict resolution because she saw so many great projects and deals fail due to seemingly small disputes that the parties were unable to navigate successfully. In her personal life she also witnessed friends and family struggling with difficult transitions: separations\, divorce\, the care of aging parents and the transfer of family properties and businesses. In many cases attorneys were retained\, but the time and expense of attorneys\, and their rights-based approach to the problem\, often heightened the conflict. Mediation provides an alternative to litigation\, while still providing a structure and process that can allow parties to think about solutions\, rather than focus on the conflict. \nSophie trained as a mediator with Elizabeth Clemants of Planning Change in New York City. Sophie is certified to mediate family and small business disputes. Sophie is a graduate of Brown University\, BA Urban Studies\, and Harvard Law School\, JD. She is a member of the New York Bar. Sophie worked in New York City for many years as a lawyer and consultant representing for profit developer\, not for profit community development corporations and municipalities. She is Vice Chair of the Billion Oyster Project in New York City\, an organization working with public high school students to restore the oyster beds in New York Harbor. \n
