The next ROAR Quarterly meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 15th from 1:30 to 3:30. The meeting will start with the premiere screening of “The Next Right Thing”, a video on re-entry and employment. The screening will be followed by a panel discussion with several employers around why they will hire and will not hire formerly incarcerated people, and how we can make it happen more often. The meeting will be held at the Mercy Corps HQ in downtown Portland at 45 SW Ankeny Street. Parking is available at a Smartpark on 33 NW Davis and the MAX Skidmore Fountain Red and Blue line stop is just one block west. Refreshments will be provided.
