&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:107%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"&gt;Join us for an engaging lunch event with &lt;strong&gt;Milwaukee County District Attorney Kent Lovern&lt;/strong&gt;. With over 26 years of experience as a prosecutor, Kent has dedicated his career to keeping our community safe and advocating for justice.&amp;nbsp;As Chief Deputy District Attorney since 2008, he has managed a team of 125 attorneys and 150 support staff, tackling violent crime and holding offenders accountable&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-bottom:11px"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:107%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"&gt;Kent&amp;rsquo;s vision for Milwaukee&amp;rsquo;s public safety is comprehensive and forward-thinking. He aims to crack down on reckless driving, treat it as a violent crime, and seek more serious sentences. He believes in building stronger partnerships with the local business community to expand economic development across all neighborhoods, ensuring that safe communities are essential for families and businesses to thrive.&amp;nbsp;Kent also emphasizes the importance of providing support for those struggling with mental illness and addiction through the healthcare system rather than the prison system&lt;i&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-size:11pt"&gt;&lt;span style="line-height:107%"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"&gt;Don&amp;rsquo;t miss this opportunity to hear from a leader who is deeply committed to making Milwaukee a safer and more prosperous place for everyone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

We are proud to serve our Latino community together with you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Please join us for the last meeting of 2024 where we can connect with other Latino leaders and have a special Meet &amp;amp; Greet session with the new presidents of MATC and Marquette University, Dr. Anthony Cruz and Dr. Kimo Ah Yun. Dr. Cruz is the first Latino to lead MATC and the first Latino to lead a higher education institution in Wisconsin.&amp;nbsp; Dr. Kimo Ah Yun is the first person of color to lead Marquette University.&amp;nbsp; Both of these leaders are first-generation college graduates themselves.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
