| Highly-visible
confrontations between law enforcement and communities of color are all too common, and overcoming barriers to creating better outcomes for everyone can seem daunting. A panel of law enforcement officers and representatives from the League, the City of St. Paul, and a diversity consultant discussed how respect and trust can be fostered in all communities. |
 |
| Are
you writing new music, or playing notes that have already been played? Violinist and inspirational speaker Kai Kight shared his experiences on how it’s easy to get caught up trying to follow the “right formula,” but it’s important to keep in mind that all the details we tend to focus on are just one vehicle we take on the road to our greater goal: building our communities. In addition to speaking and sharing inspirational stories, Kai also performed some of his own original compositions. |

| And
that’s a wrap! Thank you to all attendees, presenters, and League and Alliance staff for a great 2016 Annual Conference! |
