Salisbury, MD…The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Quad Counties- Wicomico, Somerset, Worcester, and Dorchester-NAACP invites you to attend the panel discussion on Thursday, July 16, 2020 at 6:00 PM. Given the need for social distancing, this event will take place via Zoom. The guest Speakers are the State’s Attorneys from Dorchester (William Jones), Somerset (Wess Garner), Wicomico (Jamie Dykes) and Worcester (Kristin Heiser) Counties.
The reason for coordinating this meeting is to educate, engage, and inform the citizens of the four counties about the role and responsibilities of such an important office as the State’s Attorney. We would like deeper insight of their role, given the climate of today. The questions that will be asked will include topics relative to diversity, racial divide, negative perceptions, and current national crisis which may (have) impact policy, procedures, and sentencing. The desired outcome of this event is to walk away with a clearer understanding of the State’s Attorney’s office and to understand their thought process, ideologies and their goals for the betterment of the communities they serve. Ultimately, NAACP is interested in transparency so that we effectively build strong relationships based upon adequate information.
There will be opportunity for audience participation. To attend, please email Ivory Smith at ivos4@aol.com no later than July 13, 2020. Everyone is invited.
