The panel will consist of four staff members of Innocence Network organizations who have been directly impacted by a wrongful conviction. They will discuss their passion for the issue, their collective goal and how they want to support and grow the role of hiring and creating lived experience support for the wrongfully convicted by the wrongfully convicted. From Client to Colleague 2.0 will continue to build on the segment that was presented at the WCD 2022 livestream event. In this session, the panelists will go deeper to discuss the unique challenges they face in their dual roles as freed/exonerated people and staff members of Network organizations. They will touch on the invisible barriers of being seen not only as a directly impacted person, but also as a peer and colleague to those who once fought to free them.
