@chrismw1998@NAPD2013 Leadership is hard and it’s especially tough in Public Defense spaces where caseloads are excessive, and resources are inadequate. But I’ve got so much optimism about the future of KS public defense thanks to a state full of such great leaders and mentors!
@chrismw1998 And another huge shout out and thank you to @NAPD2013 Training Director Jeff Sherr for being such a wonderful Facilitator and Instructor for us over the last two days!
