In this webinar, representatives from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs' Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and The Council of State Governments (CSG) Justice Center will review the FY 2024 Justice and Mental Health Collaboration Program (JMHCP) application process. This grant program provides an anticipated 25 awards in the amount of $550,000 each to city or township governments, county governments, federally recognized Native American Tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, state governments, and mental health agencies for a 36-month project. This project helps entities prepare, create, or expand comprehensive plans to implement collaborative programs for preliminarily qualified people who have come into contact with the criminal justice system and promote public safety and outcomes for people with mental health disorders and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

Join us for an insightful and interactive webinar diving deep into the results of our inaugural Global Board Governance Survey, developed by Protiviti, Broadridge and BoardProspects. During this session, experts from Protiviti, Broadridge and BoardProspects will share valuable insights regarding the board’s priorities, performance and governance practices. Our study includes feedback from more than 1,000 board members and C-suite leaders globally. Specifically, our study examined: The risks that pose the greatest threats to organizations, and the board and management’s ability to address those risks. Areas where directors and C-suite leaders align and diverge on certain topics, including board priorities and performance, diversity of thought and experience, the organization’s strategic planning process, meeting dynamics, and time allocation.The board’s responsibility with respect to talent management and organizational culture.Board governance concerning digital transformation and emerging technologies such as generative AI.

Free and fair elections are fundamental to a functioning democracy. Investigative journalism helps to ensure the integrity of the electoral process by exposing and correcting false narratives and disinformation that can influence public opinion. This reporting not only helps voters to make informed decisions but empowers them to assess the information they encounter, fostering a more discerning and knowledgeable electorate.

You’re invited to join a Clean Energy Canada webinar on the rise of EV misinformation and how to tackle it. Clean Energy Canada’s communications director, Trevor Melanson, director of public affairs, Joanna Kyriazis, and manager of reports and outreach, Keri McNamara, will be joined by Globe and Mail car critic Matt Bubbers and Electric Mobility Canada’s Daniel Breton to discuss the myths and misinformation surrounding electric vehicles, what’s in store for the future, and how we might turn the tide of public perception. A recent study of climate-related YouTube videos found that climate denial is giving way to a new kind of climate delay tactic: the discrediting of climate solutions like EVs. This trend has had a helping hand from often well-intentioned but ultimately unbalanced reporting on electric vehicles, especially compared to gas cars. Join us as we explore the communications headwinds facing the shift to electric transportation—and how we can and must overcome them. The presentation will be followed by a discussion in which attendees can put their questions to panelists. Join us at 10am PT/1pm ET on March 12 as experts in the field offer informed insight and myth-busting information on EVs.

The Biden Administration’s timid approach toward Iran and its Houthi proxies has placed American servicemembers and crucial global trade routes at grave risk. An estimated 12 percent of international trade, amounting to over $1 trillion in goods annually normally navigates through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Since the Houthi attacks began, freight rates from East Asia to Europe have surged over 200 percent. The Administration’s policy of appeasement of the Iranian regime has proven to be a dangerous fantasy, setting the post-Abraham Accords Middle East on fire. Urgent action is required to change course and re-establish deterrence. Join us for a conversation with Simone Ledeen, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Middle East Policy, as she outlines the ever-increasing scope of the threat to international shipping and regional security, and concrete steps the US and its allies can take to reverse the trend.This presentation will be broadcast via Zoom video webinar; audio-only phone dial-in is also available. A recording will be posted to the JPC website after the live event.Speaker: Simone Ledeen
