With an estimated 40,000 gang members in Los Angeles, gang violence touches all of our lives and the communities in which we live. And as business owners living, working and raising our families in Los Angeles, we have a special responsibility to get involved and take action.
Please join NAWBO-LA in an important Town Hall discussion with a distinguished panel of experts to learn more about the risks facing Los Angeles youth and how we all can step up to ensure a brighter future.
The discussion will focus on building robust intervention and prevention programs, influencing public policy to proactively support our youth, and the critical need for investment in strengthened educational, workforce and career-training opportunities.
Cynthia McClain-Hill, Managing Partner of Strategic Council PLC, will moderate the discussion. Panelists include civil rights attorney Connie Rice, Co-Director of the Advancement Project; Board Trustee Angela Reddock of Los Angeles Community College District; Carla Sanger, President/CEO of of LA’s BEST; and Debra Duardo, director of Drop Out Prevention and Recovery at Los Angeles Unified School District.
