Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda and Dr. Rachel Sutz Pienta co-founded the Big Bend Anti-Bullying Task force as an ad hoc response to community tragedies that occurred in 2010. The task force, without any sustaining funding, has since organized panel discussions and events, written op-eds, participated in community events, and functioned as a speakers’ bureau of experts and dedicated community members affected by and interested in this critical issue.
Who: Convened by Rep. Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda, Co-Chair, Big Bend Anti-Bullying Task Force
Co-facilitated by Dr. Rachel Sutz Pienta, Co-Chair, Big Bend Anti-Bullying Task Force and Olivia James, a doctoral candidate who worked with Rep. Rehwinkel Vasilinda on formulating successful anti-bullying legislation during the 2012 legislative session
What: Anti-Bullying Roundtable Discussion
When: Wednesday, November 6, 2013, 11:30am – 2:00pm
Where: Historic Old Capitol, 400 South Monroe Street – a boxed lunch will be served downstairs in the lower level gallery after which the Roundtable will convene upstairs in the Old Senate Chamber
Why: To have an open and informative discussion among all stakeholders, including elected officials, public administrators, and community leaders, to talk about where we currently are with regard to anti-bullying legislation and where we need to be heading.
We are trying to get a head count for the boxed lunches. If you have not already done so, please RSVP to Teri Cariota at teri.cariota@myfloridahouse.
Thank you,
Teri
