2016 Speaker Series - Rev. Jeffrey Brown
May 12, 2016
7:30 AM - 9:00 AM
Rev. Brown was one of the key architects behind the “Boston Miracle,” which saw the violent crime rate among youth plummet by 79% over a decade. Today, he works with faith groups, government and police to stop community violence as the president of RECAP – Rebuilding Every Community Around Peace. He speaks on “collaborative leadership,” community building, and what it takes to institute real change in organizations of all stripes.
Rev. Brown will speak about how during the late 1980s, he watched his neighborhood become overrun with drugs and violence. He decided to listen to the young people in the community — not preach to them — in order to bring about change.
