About this Event
To say the least, this is not an easy conversation. It is hard to imagine a more difficult and traumatizing topic, or a more tragic situation. Our hope is for a stimulating, informative, difficult, conversation, that directs our attention to informed, empathetic understanding, and a basis for constructive cooperation in meeting challenges and opportunities.
