Day Two Hundred & Seventy-Five

It was really interesting to go the SAIC meeting with Ali today. I felt like a real professional being in that room with everyone else. And it was really inspiring to see all these different agencies, all these different people who are passionate about eliminating violence against women and children and providing support and advocacy for the survivors. It was also fascinating to meet the chief of police. He's gotten a really bad wrap in the media, most likely b/c he was specifically hired to come in and clean house/fix issues. I still don't totally know what I think of him, but it was awesome to be in a position to even sit there and interact with him.
