academic institutions, and others that work in concert to provide career-track

employment for formerly incarcerated people that

– breaks down negative perceptions and other barriers to employment;;

– provides businesses wider access to the skills, productivity, employment

retention benefits of hiring from this employment pool, as well as direct financial

incentives;;

– reduces the recidivism rate through building long-term financial independence;;

– fosters economic development in poor underserved communities;;

– and builds the tax base through increased employment, wages, and profits.

THINGS TO ORGANIZE IN YOUR WORKING GROUP (WG) BEFORE THE END OF THIS SESSION

25

#ColumbiaREAP

(You may decide on whether to do this as the first step or at the end.)

1. Vote or self-nominate a WG Lead Liaison to the Steering Committee;; Secretary;; and any other roles that may be needed.

2. Decide on at least three projects/priorities that you/this WG should initially focus on.

3. What resources will this WG need to be able to accomplish these projects? Who else should this WG reach out to?

4. Develop a rough timeframe for doing this between now and end of this calendar year. Include what could be accomplished by mid-summer.

5. When is the best time for this WG to connect with each other between now and the next whole-group Breakfast Workshop (which will be around end of June)?

6. What is the best way to connect with each other? What online group or platform is preferred by this WG? (Business Association can assist with setting up collaborative tools like Slack, Google groups, etc. but needs feedback from members about the preferred tools.)

Tamer Center for Social Enterprise, Columbia University 26

Next steps

• The Secretary should circulate contact info and notes, connect with everyone in their WG online, and agree on the next date for discussion.

• Communicate any questions for the broader Business Association group or steering committee.


We’d like to hear from you (will take one minute or less!)
