Gordon Pack, a key member of our team scaling PREPARE’s work to cover men incarcerated in Maryland, has just been announced the winner of the Howard Wicker Entrepreneurial Advocate Award. The award recognizes an individual who is working in an organization that is providing resources to help formerly incarcerated people find a new path in life.
PREPARE is very fortunate to have Gordon as part of our team. He served as an advocate and mentor to many men during his 43 years of incarceration. Our model is to build a team of people, such as Gordon, to translate those years of service on the inside to the work of decarceration from the outside. As we move from serving just women to serving many men, Gordon has been an important and incredibly positive addition to our team.
