Why does the Chief Scientific Officer of a medical technology company care about second chances?
What role does the church play in creating spaces where formerly incarcerated men and women feel accepted?
Join us on October 22nd at the Judson Mill Annex as our founder, Jerry Blassingame, leads and moderates a conversation featuring Dr. Jeremy Mercuri, Chief Scientific Officer of Samaritan Biologics, and Rev. Sean Dogan, Pastor of Long Branch Baptist Church.
Together, they’ll explore the heart behind these partnerships and the different ways we can create a community where formerly incarcerated men and women are welcomed, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive. You’ll hear stories of impact, gain varied perspectives, and leave feeling inspired to help weave your own thread into a Greenville where everyone has the opportunity to belong, regardless of their past.
You don’t want to miss this conversation!
