  I am an advisory board member of the national coalition group, It Could Happen To You (ITCHY). I began with their first chapter in NY, and I am now active in all 3 chapters (NY, Pennsylvania, and California). I help: strategize; recruit new organizations and individuals into the coalition; am the liason to the exoneree community; participate in our policy campaigns via panel discussions, speaking, media/press conferences, and meet with elected officials. My Foundation, which is part of all 3 chapters of ITCHY, sponsors some of ITCHY's initiatives, and we co-brand with each other. Show less
