ETSU to offer ‘ABCs of Advocacy’ at Downtown Kingsport Center

JOHNSON CITY — East Tennessee State University’s Office of Professional Development will offer a two-day “ABCs of Advocacy” training session on Monday and Tuesday, July 18-19, at the ETSU Downtown Kingsport Center at 300 Clinchfield St.

The course is designed to teach advocates how to provide competent, effective crisis intervention services to victims and survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence.

The instructor will be Heather Herrman, a program specialist with the Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault.

The coalition is a leading voice for survivors of domestic and sexual violence in Tennessee. Established in 1983 as a non-profit agency, the coalition is a statewide network of domestic violence programs, rape crisis centers, allied programs and individuals working together to end such violence in the state. Advocating for laws that protect victims of rape and abuse, the organization trains police officers, judges and frontline workers in providing life-saving services to victims as well as partnering with communities to prevent and end violence.

The course fee is $49, with group rates available. The fee includes course materials.

Local Farmers and chefs are coming together again this year to create a unique culinary experience using available seasonal products to prepare their signature dishes.

Silent and live auctions are part of the evening and feature a wide range of items for which attendees may bid. The Auctioneer for the live auction is Alan Ramsey. Event Supporters include WJHL TV 11 and Blackthorn Club  

Proceeds from this major fundraiser for Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee go directly to help feed individuals and families in our region that may go hungry due to lack of access to food. At the same time, this event helps establish sustainable relationships between local farmers and chefs which are vital to the well-being of our community.

Make reservations by calling the Food Bank (423)279-0430 or visit www.netfoodbank.org for more details.  Tickets purchased during July are $75.00 each. Table sponsorships are $500 for eight people and include complimentary wine and company recognition at the event.
