Dear Victim Service Providers:

The Office of the Attorney General is proud to host the 2013 Victims Assistance Conference at the Clarion Hotel in Lexington. Despite budget constraints, my office remains committed to victim advocacy and to ensuring justice and healing for crime victims in Kentucky.

This year's Victims' Assistance Conference will mirror the Office of Victims of Crime's National Crime Victims' Rights' Week Theme, "New Challenges-New Solutions," and will focus on assisting the most vulnerable and sometimes underserved victims. We are honored to welcome Anne Seymour, a nationally recognized victim advocate with more than 30 years of experience, who will share her passion for helping crime victims.

We are excited to present a special speaker for the luncheon on April 23rd, Dr. Earl Suttle, an internationally recognized keynote speaker, seminar leader and management consultant.

Additionally, we are pleased to offer specialized training opportunities for Child Sexual Abuse Multidisciplinary Team Members, SANE Nurses, Medical Unit Coordinators and Medical Professionals during this year's program.

Finally, I would like to commend you for the tireless work you do every day to assist victims and their families. You give hope to the hopeless and lend a powerful voice to Kentuckians who, in their darkest hours, might otherwise have no voice.

We look forward to seeing you at this year's conference.

Sincerely,

Jack Conway
Kentucky Attorney General
