If you want a glimpse at the extraordinary heart, soul, and intellect of New York’s Chief Judge, watch this short video of his remarks at our recent event.
Commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the newly renamed Midtown Community Justice Center and its contributions to community safety and security, Chief Judge Rowan D. Wilson delivers a candid and celebratory speech in its honor. In the spirit of the holiday season, he remembers the themes of compassion and shared humanity in films like "Miracle on 34th Street" and their likeness to the work and diverse practitioners at Midtown—calling the latter New York’s own “Miracle on 54th Street.” Their long-standing, innovative foundation of meeting individuals with resources and support rather than a sentence in court is, in short, miraculous. 30 years of justice represents more than 30 years of a court—it represents 30 years of community, 30 years of humanity, and 30 years of love… and that legacy is here to stay.

Great to be back again serving as emcee at the 17th Annual Hearts of Texas Luncheon, honoring Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Randy Bowman, Community Partners of Dallas and the Lewisville ISD. Volunteerism transforms lives! Thanks to Volunteer Now CEO, Rachel Currie Triska, for inspiring her incredible team. Americans gave 4.1 billion hours of service to humanity as volunteers last year. There's nothing more impactful than making a difference in the lives of those who need it most. As I share in my keynote address: "Live your life as a go-getter, yet, forever share your life as a go-giver."
June is the month in which Tom Skinner was born 82 years ago and passed away 30 years ago.
