JULY SPECIAL GUEST PRESENTATION
+ MEMBERSHIP MEETING
SPECIAL GUEST SPEAKER + MGLFE MEMBERSHIP MEETING!
Please join us for this exciting event scheduled for July 16, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 3:45 PM.
We're honored to welcome Brandi Morey-Pols, Founder and CEO of The Rowan Project, a national nonprofit dedicated to filicide prevention, child protection, victim advocacy, and legislative reform.
Following the murder of her six-year-old son, Rowan, in 2024, Brandi transformed her grief into action, becoming a leading voice for families impacted by domestic violence, family court failures, and child homicide.
Brandi is the driving force behind Rowan's Act, landmark Michigan legislation expanding AMBER Alert eligibility to better protect endangered children. She works closely with law enforcement, prosecutors, victim advocates, legislators, and survivor families across the country to identify systemic gaps and drive meaningful change.
Her presentation will explore:
-
Lessons learned from Rowan's case.
-
Opportunities for collaboration between professionals and advocates.
-
The critical role of multidisciplinary partnerships in preventing future tragedies.
Brandi's presentation will be followed by a short and sweet Membership Meeting.
