MCC DV Awareness Conference

Last Wed, October 24th, Mesa Community College had a Domestic Violence Awareness Conference with a series of wonderful speakers and workshops. I met a lot of really great people. It was my first experience promoting the portrait project, and I found the whole event very rewarding.

I was really amazed at how many resources there are for this issue. Although I have been looking for organizations to approach about the project, I had never heard of several of the groups represented at the conference. In one way it's wonderful how much service there is; in another way it's not so wonderful how obscure they are. At least they are available and the web really helps to get the word out, but there is always more that can be done.
