For the health and safety of our patrons and speakers, masks may be required for indoor in-person Houston Seminar events, and we strongly prefer registrants to be fully vaccinated. Since events are held at a variety of venues with their own policies and protocols, there may be other requirements for some courses. We make every effort to inform guests in a timely manner if there are additional health and safety guidelines they will be asked to follow. Our trips and study tours, particularly those that include shared transportation or plane flights, may also require guidelines beyond those for in-person courses, which will be determined in conjunction with venues, vendors, and local guidelines. We will make every effort to announce these guidelines as far in advance as possible. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue to navigate the world of COVID-19 while bringing enriching experiences to our audiences.

May 25: Policing and the Criminal Justice System: Disparities and Reform
Through his work as the chair of the MacArthur Foundation–funded Houston Racial/Ethnic Disparities Committee Data Workgroup, where he leads a research team in a multi-year, large-scale evaluation of the Houston Police Department Body Camera Program, Howard Henderson will discuss racial and ethnic disparities across the criminal justice system and policing in Houston. He will offer insights into addressing these disparities, enhancing communication, and engaging the community.
