"BEHIND THE SCREENS" podcast with host Les Rosen!
Episode #56
Kym had the honor of sitting down with one of background screening's greats - even icons! - Les Rosen - to discuss how background screening impacts survivors of human trafficking and how we, as CRAs and industry professionals can help. They may or may not have explored some other "fun facts" about a few of the things Kym does outside of her career and advocacy as well, so join us for the fun! The podcast will be available wherever you enjoy listening, with the full video version available on YouTube.
You won't want to miss it!

Webinar - American Apartment Owner's Association (AAOA)
11am PST / 1pm CST / 2pm EST
So grateful for the opportunity to share with this incredible association of landlords and property owners about how they play such a critical role in reducing recidivism and empowering survivors of human trafficking. Safe housing is key for survivors to thrive and succeed as they navigate their new lives in freedom. Generosity has its rewards financially as well, as any donation to a non-profit is also tax deductible! Win/Win for everyone - so, please join us if you are a landlord and listen in on how you can not only put money back to your bottom line by helping, you will make a truly life changing - even life saving - impact on survivors of the worst kind of abuse...creating space and providing safe housing for those finally free from modern day slavery.
