Yesterday, we were honored to host the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) group in Baltimore for a day of enlightening and impactful programming focused on "Policing and Leadership in Multifaceted and Multicultural Communities." During the morning session, the delegates engaged in constructive and meaningful discussions with members of the Baltimore Police Department, including Shannon Sullivan - Schweitzer and Lt. Alfredo Cadis-Burgos. They explored the department's ongoing reforms, comprehensive training programs, and community engagement initiatives, which included foot patrols and public integrity processes. Additionally, the group had the opportunity to delve into the rich history of the BPD at the museum and even observed a live "Use of Force" hearing, gaining valuable insights into real-world policing situations. In the afternoon, former U.S. Marshal Johnny Hughes shared his profound expertise, focusing on community policing programs such as 'walk the blocks engagement,' 'community night-out,' and youth fellowships/athletics to foster improved relationships between law enforcement and the community. The day was enlightening, filled with insightful dialogue and exchanging ideas to enhance policing in diverse communities worldwide.

This morning, we hosted our Inside Series at Dunlop Protective Footwear. After networking over a light breakfast, WTCI and Regional Manufacturing Institute of Maryland members heard from Mariano O. Presas, President of Dunlop USA, Colin Clark, Chief Marketing Officer; Nikeeta Patil, Continuous Improvement Manager; Sherrita Ellis, MS, PHR, Director of HR, and Chad Henige, Head of Operations. After hearing about Dunlop's 130-year history and all the latest innovations in their footwear, the attendees toured the Havre de Grace facility. They got an up-close look at the care required to develop the handmade boots--sustainability, quality control, and finishing. Fun fact: Dunlop creates its own composites from recycled boots and materials. Join us for our next Inside Series featuring Sagamore Spirit in October. 👉Learn more: https://loom.ly/juwtVf8 #InsideSeries #Manufacturing #BehindtheScenes #WTCI #RMI
