Closing Keynote-“Community is the Answer: A Call to Action, Courage and Compassion

Chimney Rock Ballroom

Rosie Hidalgo brings a powerful message rooted in decades of advocacy, legal expertise, and policy leadership. In this compelling keynote, Hidalgo invites us to reimagine our collective response to sexual assault by centering community as both the source and solution. Drawing on her deep experience in the field and federal leadership, she will explore how courage, compassion, and community action must intersect to create lasting change. This address is not only a reflection—it is a rallying cry. Participants will leave inspired and challenged to build inclusive, survivor-centered movements that advance prevention and healing.
