Craig Silliman talks criminal justice reform.
In our latest Up To Speed podcast, we sat down with Craig Silliman, Verizon’s Chief Administrative, Legal and Public Policy Officer, for a conversation about the criminal justice system and calls for reform. It’s an issue that impacts millions of Americans, including our customers, our employees and our business. And as one of the nation’s largest and most influential corporations, we have an opportunity to create positive change. On October 23rd, Silliman will host a panel of experts in Washington DC to discuss the current state of criminal justice reform, opportunities for more reforms and the challenges on the horizon.
