The Third National Conference on Restorative Justice will bring together academics, community leaders, educators, faith leaders, judges, politicians, policy makers, practitioners and concerned community members to explore the use of restorative justice principles and practices. This conference will have a particular focus on multi-cultural and indigenous communities. Speakers include Nontombi Naomi Tutu, Howard Zehr, John Braithwaite, Harley Eagle, Kathleen Daly and many others.
The conference will take place June 8 through 10 at the Sheraton in downtown Raleigh. Each iteration of the conference has been convened in a different city, and it is exciting to have the conference happen here in North Carolina. I have been privileged to be part of the leadership team for the conference, as I was at the first conference in Kerrville, Texas. Please join us for this extraordinary gathering.
