Melissa Snow, Director of Programs, Shared Hope International
Shared Hope International (SHI) is an Arlington, Virginia – based organization that works to end sex trafficking worldwide through education and public awareness. In 2006, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) awarded a grant to SHI to research domestic minor sex trafficking. SHI worked with DOJ-funded taskforces to assess DMST and access to victim services in ten U.S. locations, publishing its results in The National Report on Domestic Minor Sex Trafficking: America’s Prostituted Youth. In her role at SHI, Ms. Snow is working with more than fifteen DOJ-funded taskforces to identify and facilitate services for DMST victims.

For those of you not familiar with WebEx trainings, all you need is access to a computer, the Internet, and your phone.
After you register, the WebEx system will send you a confirmation e-mail with login information for both the web and the teleconference portions. Please save the confirmation email because it includes the following information:
· Toll-free phone number and participant passcode for the audio portion of the training session; and

As part of the WebEx session, you can ask the presenter questions. Once on the call, the technician will guide you on how to ask questions orally. The speaker will answer questions during the last 15 minutes of the presentation.
We look forward to your participation!
