The speaker’s full name for ouir 9/14 meeting is:
We are so excited for the opportunity to speak at your meeting! We believe that our information will greatly empower and encourage the community to take action against human trafficking as it is unfortunately very prevalent in the Lehigh Valley.
Our mission is to, through collaboration, education, and advocacy, empower survivors and encourage the community to take action in the anti-trafficking movement. We officially became a non-profit in 2016 and our main focuses are on empowering and encouraging survivors through our recently developed Outreach Program, which is a referral program in which we help survivors find the appropriate resources that they need and we also provide an outreach worker to assist them through this process. Additionally, we focus on community education and awareness as we believe that by educating the community, we can encourage people to take action and help us fight against trafficking, in the anti-trafficking movement.
Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity to come and speak at your meeting! Our speaker, Tashina Khabbaz is thrilled to be coming and we believe that this presentation will be an impactful and educative experience.

Toxic and Invasive Plants
Nov 30, 2018 12:00 PM
Chairman: Judy Belaires Invocator: Wally Eldridge Scribe: TBD Title: Plant specimens, Giant Hogweed, and Looking Towards a Sustainable Future
Dr. Niesenbaum and his students use historical data from specimens in the Muhlenberg College Herbarium to assess the fate of or threats to locally rare plants, and to determine causes of extinction. This historical approach has great potential for examining the effects of habitat loss, invasive plants, and climate change on rare plants. This work will be presented within the context of recent invasions by the highly toxic plant Giant Hogweed or Heracleum mantegazzianum with regard to understanding the invasion and management approaches.
Dr. Niesenbaum will also speak more broadly about sustainability as his book Sustainable Solutions: Problem Solving for Current and Future Generations will be published by Oxford University Press in late 2018. This book offers a combination of history, policy, science and-perhaps most important in these troubling times-a message of hope. You will come away not only with optimism for the future but also with recipes and a roadmap for how to make and reach a better tomorrow |
