At this meeting we will be joined by Diana Tapp (Greenville County Sheriff’s Office), Emmie Craig (Safe Harbor), Yisenia Jimenez (Safe Harbor), and Chelsea Sosa (7th Circuit Solicitor’s Office). Their time working with different immigrant communities in their respective fields each have their own challenges and rewards, and we are excited to hear what all encompasses their responsibilities. More information about the panelists is listed below:
