SUMMARY:Troy - 2020 ROUNDTABLE
DESCRIPTION:This networking and interactive event is for experienced advocates and professionals who are active in addressing human trafficking in Michigan through prevention\, education and/or the provision of services to survivors and at-risk populations. The objective of this forum is to increase collaboration and effectiveness of the SE Michigan community by identifying barriers\, building relationships\, and strengthening partnerships. \n\nDinner is provided 5:00-5:30.  Tickets are $25/person. \nOur Program…\n\nLegal First Responders.  Trafficking survivors face legal obstacles that arise from the circumstances of their exploitation.  Yet\, they often do not have the knowledge or the financial means to secure skilled legal representation.  Known as the “justice gap\,” this inability to secure legal assistance often impedes survivors from moving toward a brighter future.  In this presentation\, Jennifer Grieco and Nate Knapper jointly discuss the legal community’s efforts to close this justice gap through The Joseph Project – a network of “Legal First Responders” committed to servicing survivors’ legal needs on a pro bono basis.\nWhat next Michigan? Where should Michigan go and what should we do next in our pursuit to end trafficking and sexual exploitation?  What is the Nordic Model of legal and service framework aimed to reduce sex trafficking? Angela Aufdemberge provides insights into some common elements of local (within US) best practice initiatives and her findings from 2019 Eugene Miller Fellowship project which focused on improved legislation and disruption of patterns of sexual exploitation. She examines ideas to include in Michigan’s pathway forward.\nLegislation and Commission Update.  What new legislation is in the workings and what gaps or issues will it address?  What will Michigan do to reduce demand? What is the Commission’s focus in 2020? Kelly Carter brings us an update on the latest news from our state government.\nNetworking.  Time is available after our program for networking. A Roster of participating organizations will be made available to attendees. Bring literature to share on our resource table. Bring business cards to share with other advocates.\n\nSpeaker Bios…\nKEYNOTE SPEAKER: Jennifer Grieco\nJennifer currently serves as the immediate past President of the State Bar of Michigan.
