Seven Pearls Foundation Hosts Forum To Promote Positive Law Enforcement Partnerships

CARY, N.C. - June 20, 2015 - PRLog -- The Seven Pearls Foundation Inc., a 501 (C)3 entity of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. and a proponent of developing strategic partnerships to enrich the lives of local communities will host a panel discussion from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday, July 18, 2015 at the Omni Mandalay Hotel in Irving,Texas. The theme for this occasion is "Partnering with Law Enforcement Representatives and Community Agencies through Positive Dialogue that Improves Community Relationships".

"Maya Angelou stated that courage may be the most important of all virtues, because without it one cannot practice any other virtue with consistency.  During the past few months many have lost their courage and feel vulnerable.  It is difficult to be courageous when we must challenge fear.  It is our hope that the panel discussion will allow each of us to act positively in the face of our concerns, and have the faith that we will be more comfortable and trusting because we faced what makes us uncomfortable," said Foundation President, Dr. Mynora J. Bryant.

The event is free and open to the public and will provide a venue to candidly discuss appropriate law enforcement interactions with civilians, review the rights of citizens when being detained by law enforcement officials, and identify mutually productive methods to diffuse potentially contentious encounters.

The foundation will conclude the day's events with a Pearls & Roses Gala at 7:00PM. Ms. Linda McClure; a member of the sorority and the niece of sorority Founder Cubena McClure, serves as Honorary Chairwoman. Tickets for the Pearls & Roses Gala may be purchased via Eventbrite or at http:/www.sevenpearls.org
