Community Violence: Preparing, Responding and Healing

Where: Cross Insurance Center 515 Main Street, Bangor, Maine

Featuring Keynote Speaker: Scarlett Lewis

Scarlett Lewis founded the nonprofit Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement in honor of her son, Jesse who was murdered during the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy in December 2012. Shortly after his death, Scarlett decided to be part of the solution to the issues that we're seeing in our society - that also cause the tragedy - and turned it into an opportunity to build a culture of love, resilience, forgiveness, and connection in our communities at a time when it is needed the most...

In 2022, Scarlett was named to Bloomberg Businessweek's 2022 Bloomberg 50, and was featured speaker at the New York Times Deal Book Summit 2022 alongside many of our world leaders, CEO's of businesses, and emerging leaders. In 2021, Scarlett was named a Forbes 50 over 50 Impact Honoree, one of 50 women leading the way with impact and changing their communities and the world in ways big and small through social entrepreneurship, law, advocacy, and education.
