What is the Annual Human Trafficking Summit?
Florida’s Statewide Council on Human Trafficking (Council) was created through legislation in 2014. This 15-member Council, chaired by Attorney General Moody, builds on existing state and local partnerships working to combat human trafficking. Members of the Council include law enforcement officers, prosecutors, legislators, as well as experts in the fields of health, education, and social services.
One of the duties of the Council is to hold an annual statewide policy summit with an institution of higher learning. Leaders in our state are committed to making Florida a zero-tolerance state for human trafficking. Learning opportunities created at the Summit will allow Florida to continue working to protect victims, prevent trafficking, and prosecute traffickers.
The Summit brings together survivors, advocates, legal representatives, law enforcement, service providers, health professionals, and other members of the public. Breakout sessions include recent updates and developments in the following areas:
-
Legal
-
Service Delivery
-
Education & Awareness
Who should attend?
The Summit brings together survivors, advocates, legal representatives, law enforcement, service providers, health professionals, and other members of the public.
Due to the delicate nature of the subject matter, it is highly recommended that participants be over the age of 18 years old.
Can I use the Summit in my recertification or re-designation process?
With the annual Human Trafficking Summit, the Florida Office of the Attorney General is dedicated to creating learning opportunities that will allow Floridians to continue working to protect victims, prevent trafficking, and prosecute traffickers across a myriad of industries. We are continuing to work with other state agencies to explore the options participants of the annual Human Trafficking Summit will have for their respective industry’s continuing education credit programs.
Will I be able to acquire CLE credit this year?
The CLE course number and number of credit hours will be determined once the Florida Bar has reviewed the course materials. Once the review process is complete, the CLE course number and number of credit hours will be included on the Summit page or emailed to registrants.
For our out-of-state registrants seeking CLE credit, please contact your state’s Bar to seek CLE credit in your state. Most states will require a copy of the program to consider CLE credit.
Will there be awards at the 2023 Human Trafficking Summit?
Yes. Award Nominations are due by August 9, 2023, and information on how to submit a nomination can be found here. The award recipients will be acknowledged by the Attorney General within the Summit’s content under the video titled “Awards Presentation.” Award recipients will receive their award in the mail after October 3, 2023.
How do I become a speaker? What if I know someone who would be a good speaker for future summits?
Information on Summit Presentations and how to submit a Speaker Proposal Form can be found here.
Speaker proposals are due June 19, 2023, and selected speakers will be notified in mid-July via email by the Florida Office of the Attorney General. Our office is always looking for great speakers. Please share the link to the speaker proposal form with anyone you think would be interested or that would deliver a great presentation on Legal, Service Delivery, or Education & Awareness.
