Billy Lassiter is holding four town hall meetings across the state to hold meetings with the <br /> community to answer questions about raising the juvenile age . Meg raised the idea of the JCPC <br /> sponsoring a town hall meeting here in Orange County and use it as an opportunity for <br /> community outreach. There isn't a meeting being held in the central area because there has been <br /> a lot of meeting held in Raleigh lately and they wanted to give the outer-lying counties an <br /> opportunity to host. Meg will reach out to Billy to see about the feasibility of hosting one . <br /> JCPC Business <br /> Final Accounting — Reminder for funded programs to get Final Accounting in to Rebekah by <br /> August 19 , <br /> July 2016 Program Payments — Funded programs should have received those payments . <br /> Conflict of Interest Forms — At the beginning of every new FY, every board member must sign a <br /> new conflict of interest form .

Motivational Interviewing is working with clients to get them to name <br /> the changes they want to see and do ; it is getting them to identify their goals instead of staff <br /> telling them what needs to be done . Tami said it was a great training and is appreciative of the <br /> opportunity. <br /> Val went to the Restorative Justice in Motion Conference with practitioners from all over the <br /> world. It was a really intensive 4-day conference and she is grateful for the opportunity to <br /> attend. Sessions included : Theater of the Oppressed, Racism Stops with Me, Justice from the <br /> Heart, Mobilizing Youth as Restorative Leaders, Working with People Who Have Endured <br /> Profound Grief, was able to sit in circle to discuss how to incorporate "racism stops with me" in <br /> their communities, sat in on a private (4 people) meeting to discuss the future of restorative <br /> justice in NC, and was able to hear Chief Justice of the Navajo Nation speak about the <br /> Indigenous Restorative Justice that they have had in place for a long time. There is so much <br /> information that she learned and will be putting into practice here in Orange County. <br /> Membership Update — Jeff Reilly and Tom Velivil have moved on to new endeavors and will no <br /> longer be a part of the JCPC board.
