Hear heartfelt\n\npresentations from housing director\, Richard McLemore\n\nII and author\, Emily Baxter. In-depth discussion will\n\ntake place with Minnesota Department of Corrections\n\nand Quinlivan & Hughes\, P.A.\, on the benefits of hiring\n\nthose with previous convictions and disparate impacts\n\nresulting from criminal records.
