Friday May 9th at O’Naturals Restaurant in Portland 5:30pm

“Preparing for Change”

Please join us in celebrating our Harry Bliss Activist Award recipients and helping to give a well deserved farewell to our Executive Director Melissa Boyd, who will be leaving us in July to complete her graduate degree program.

This year there are two recipients who will receive the Harry Bliss Activist award: Anne D. Burt of the Maine Council of Churches and Dr. Paul Perkins of Bath. Both of these individuals have worked on social norm shifting and organizing for cool changes in their communities and in the State of Maine.

The dinner will include a keynote by Irwin Gratz, News Anchor and Producer at MPBN’s “Morning Edition.” Irwin Gratz is a past national president of the Society of Professional Journalists, the nation’s largest and most broad-based journalism organization. In his remarks, he will address the role of the media in shaping public policy. Irwin Gratz was born and raised in New York City where he earned his Masters’ Degree in Journalism from New York University.
