Our Western Region Reentry Summit would not be possible without the dedication and leadership of our incredible planning committee. This group brings together professionals, advocates, and community leaders who are deeply committed to improving reentry outcomes across our region. Each member contributes their unique experience, perspective, and passion to help shape a summit that is meaningful, collaborative, and solutions-focused. From developing the agenda to building partnerships and ensuring the voices of those directly impacted by the justice system are represented, this team is working behind the scenes to create an event that will inspire change and strengthen the support systems for individuals returning to our communities.
