Not enough words to express the gratitude I feel for all those who joined us at the 2024 Community Violence Intervention Conference. Over 900 attendees committed to forging connections and discussing strategies to promote peace and save lives. This space would be nothing without the energy and wisdom shared by each attendee, and we don’t take it for granted. An extra special shoutout to my fellow panelists Paris Davis, MPA,CNP Armando Torreblanca LaQuay Boone, MSW, LSW for the amazing conversation on the future of our work, Aim4Peace "The Movement to Stop the Shooting" for deservingly receiving the Lifesaving Service Award, and all those who had speaking roles and participated in organizing such a massive event. Wishing you all safe travels home, lots of rest, and looking forward to seeing the ideas you bring forth next year!
