We are pleased to announce our third Annual Meeting of our Membership for the year 2015
Come and hear about the latest news on Criminal Justice issues in the State of New Hampshire. Receive the latest information on how the NH Supreme Court decision John Doe v. New Hampshire is developing into new law that may allow some registrants living crime free to get off the registry. We will be providing detailed information on all new legislative bills that may become law and how these laws may impact inmates, parolees, ex-offenders and their families. We will also be discussing plans to challenge the new passport identifier that President Obama recently signed into law. We need you to be part of this meeting and we look forward to meeting you.
Annual reports will be given by our Founder Chris Dornin, Chairman, Dr. Robert Paradise, Secretary, Jeremy J. Olson, and Treasurer, Sandy McGonagle. Members can cast a vote on various agenda items and everyone can take part in an informative Question & Answer session.
