The Stop the Stigma conference is from Project AIM. Here’s the description from the website. This is not an NCCSD event – please contact Benjamin Wright with questions or go to the website for more details. Would be great to see more about disability and accommodations presented at this event! Description: “Project AIM is an initiative at SNHU with the mission to provide an educational pathway for incarcerated learners. We are in our third year of hosting STOP THE STIGMA, organized completely by current SNHU students. Our goal is to spread awareness to the community at large on the challenges faced by justice impacted individuals. The conference provides a space to discuss issues related to transportation, employment, housing, and educational opportunities.“ --- From: Wright, Benjamin <benjamin.wright4@snhu.edu<mailto:benjamin.wright4@snhu.edu>> Subject: [EXTERNAL EMAIL] Stop the Stigma Conference March 28-30!! Hi guys!! Some people on this email are already SNHU/Project AIM people, some of you know me from other projects-- I wanted to share that Project AIM through SNHU is hosting a 3 day conference in March. We feel it is really important to keep pushing out our important agenda not just to the SNHU community but to the Northeast United States as well. It will be a small but mighty event!! I wrote up a little blurb on my LinkedIn that I am copying here, if you could please help us get the word out that would be awesome. In addition to that, we would love to see the proposals from all of you!! If you can't make it in person, you can present virtually. Here it is!!! (LMK if you have any questions!!) The links to registration and to the call for proposals is below... Thank you for your help 🙂 I appreciate it!!! Hi everyone, I am excited to announce that Project AIM, an initiative of Southern New Hampshire University (Southern New Hampshire University) that provides an educational pathway for incarcerated learners, is hosting a conference titled STOP THE STIGMA from March 28-30. We will be a mix of an in-person and virtual conference. We are looking for presenters that can speak to one of three areas-- 1) legal/judicial, where we hope to hear from lawyers, judges, and legislators related to stopping the stigma-- 2) the directly impacted, we would like to amplify the voices of directly impacted individuals who will share their experiences with the legal system, incarceration and reintegration back into their communities, and 3) from individuals and organizations that currently provide educational programs to those incarcerated. You can present either in person or virtually, which means you don't have to live in New Hampshire to present!!
