Michigan Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley will be among the featured speakers at a November 12 program at the Auburn Hills campus of Western Michigan University Cooley Law School.
The program, titled "Paradigm Shift: Changing Law and Education to Better Support Addiction Recovery," will take place from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Cooley, according to Professor Lauren Rousseau, who is spearheading plans for the event.
"Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley will be our closing speaker," said Rousseau. "We are very excited about this, since he chairs Governor Snyder's Prescription Drug & Opiate Abuse Task Force, which just released its recommendations last Monday. We are very excited to hear what Lieutenant Governor Calley has to say about these recommendations and where Michigan goes from here."
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door, and MCBAP (Michigan Certification Board of Addiction Professionals) credits will be available. To register and/or sponsor the event, go to www.brownpaperticket.docm and type "Paradigm Shift" in the search bar.
"This unique conference will focus on improving addition recovery support within our criminal justice and educational systems," said Rousseau, a University of Michigan Law School grad who teaches civil procedure at Cooley. "The conference will feature many high-profile speakers, including Lieutenant Governor Calley; Craig DeRoche, former speaker of the House of Representatives and executive director of the Justice Fellowship in Washington, D.C.; and Michael Johnson, founder of Justice/Quade Recovery Institute."
