Morning Keynote

Why Can’t People Just Change?

West Huddleston, Vice President, SCRAM Systems

We oftentimes think that people in our care or under supervision can change. It’s easy to lose sight of just how difcult change is, especially in the face of serious consequences. Explore the constellation of factors that can get in the way of change and gain insight into the complexity of learning and unlearning behavior.

Afternoon Keynote

High Intensity Drug Trafcking Area (HIDTA)

Craig Summers, Executive Director; Ranaldo Ollie, Deputy Director, Michigan HITDA

The presentation will provide an overview of the HIDTA program and its relationship to federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies in combating, disrupting, and dismantling major drug trafcking organizations. The presentation will also discuss the major drug trafcking threats prevalent in Michigan, as well as the law enforcement and community-based programs and initiatives supported by HIDTA to address these threats.

Join us for a FREE community event before the conference!

West Huddleston shares his riveting personal story.
