Guest Speakers:
#1 - Our first speaker is a survivor of human trafficking that we have known for nearly two years now. When our Executive Director first met her, she was in one of life's valleys. But she had this fire about her that you just couldn't overlook. Since then, Heather has had the absolute honor of being a part of this survivor's journey through ups, downs, and everything in between. Across four different states, through joy and devastation, this survivor has been the epitome of resilience. Ultimately, she has found success, independence, safety, and happiness. Now she has agreed to join this event and share some of her powerful tale with you.
#2 - Colorado’s House Minority Leader Rose Pugliese will be speaking at this event, and we could not be more excited! ML Pugliese is a former two-term Commissioner in Mesa County, a first-generation American, and holds a juris doctorate degree. Since joining the Colorado House of Representatives she is recognized for her remarkable achievements in enhancing government transparency and cultivating bipartisan cooperation. As the single mother of two children, one of her main focuses is in the area of children and family affairs. ML Pugliese represents House District 14 in El Paso county, and as she remains dedicated to her community and constituents, she has agreed to speak to the issue of human trafficking in our community. You won’t want to miss hearing from this inspirational woman!
