Brandon Chrostowski

I tell the story of the conception of EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute, America's premier vehicle for transitioning from incarceration to employment. I further expound on why this mission is so important to the well-being of our local communities and our nation as a whole. I discuss best practices related to the operations of a successful non-profit and furthermore delve into the wrap-around services necessary to serve your target population. If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, social justice advocate, budding non-profit CEO, HR manager, elected official, judge or employer, this talk will change the way you think about returning citizens. You will be inspired to change the world around you and become an ally in the fight to reduce recidivism. In addition to this powerful talk, select audiences may also attend a special screening of the Academy-Award nominated documentary "Knife Skills" which shows my journey to make this dream of mine a reality.

Discovering who you really are and elevating your skills to their highest and best uses. Define yourself and then refine yourself

Increasing positive energy through the practice of fighting for what is just and equitable.
