The members of the conference planning committee, who are listed below, welcome you to the Reentry Summit. The summit will provide you with information on a variety of Reentry topics, and we hope that it also will provide you with an opportunity to discuss issues of common interest with others involved in Reentry efforts in Wisconsin. If you have questions or need assistance at any time during the conference, please stop by the conference registration table, or approach someone from the planning committee—the people with a red “Committee Member” ribbon on their nametags. Enjoy the conference!
