EDUCATION about and PREVENTION against gender and relationship violence
The 5th Annual Heartland Campus Safety Summit
A conference on preventing and responding to gender-based violence on college campuses.
About the Conference
The Heartland Campus Safety Summit is a one-and-a-half-day conference for college and university administrators, faculty, staff, and students for the purpose of providing education and training for preventing and responding to sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and stalking. The 2017 Summit will be Wednesday and Thursday, November 15-16 and will be held on the campus of Johnson County Community College in Overland Park, Kansas (in the greater Kansas City area). The Heartland Campus Safety Summit will host national experts and promote the sharing of best practices among participants.
The Summit is designed for key campus personnel from the states of Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa. Those invited include: Title IX coordinators, legal representatives, public safety officers, residential life and student affairs personnel, athletic directors, women’s center staff, student leaders, health and counseling professionals, and other campus and community representatives interested in campus safety.
Thanks to corporate and foundation sponsors and partnerships, we are able to keep Heartland Campus Safety Summit registration fees extremely affordable. Our rationale is to encourage campuses to send multi-disciplinary teams to attend, increasing the impact of the Summit on every campus represented. We are committed to hosting a wide range of regional campus safety representatives at every Summit, while maintaining the highest quality conference of its kind.
The Heartland Campus Safety Summit is the result of a collaborative relationship between Jana’s Campaign, Inc. and Johnson County Community College. Utilizing their expertise and knowledge of the field, both Jana’s Campaign, Inc. and Johnson County Community College provide conference coordination and facilitation for the Summit. Other colleges, universities and gender-based advocacy groups are participating as supporters and collaborators for this project.

2017 Conference Information
Speakers and program information
Dr. Kimberly Dickman has worked in the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program for the Air Force for 9 years at the base level, at the Pentagon and now at the Air Force Academy. Her background in education, mental health counseling and human sexuality guides her role in both prevention of and response to sexual violence.
Kimberly defiantly refuses to believe that sexual violence is inevitable and with our collective powers, she knows that it is preventable. To not believe this, to be dulled by the statistics, to be defeated by apathy would mean sacrificing our sons and daughters, our sisters and brothers which she is not willing to do. Dr. Dickman’s engaging presentations absorbs audiences and has transformed thinking.
Kimberly is a returning keynote to our Campus Safety Summit series who has constantly earned raved reviews for her entertaining, enthusiastic and important messages about sexual assault.

Sheri Poe—a true pioneer in the worlds of business, cause marketing and advocacy for violence against women—recently relaunched her groundbreaking speaking tour she began 30 years ago. She wants to share her message by telling her personal story of triumph and overcoming adversity, so she can inspire others to live lives of balance, joy, fulfillment, integrity, self-care and sanity.
In her 30’s, as an early pioneer in the women’s fitness movement, Sheri built a multimillion dollar footwear brand, Ryka, becoming one of the first female CEOs of a publicly-held company. 30 years later, Ryka remains the #1 best-seller in its category on QVC.
At the height of her early success with Ryka, Ms. Poe became a pioneer in cause marketing and giving back to the consumer by establishing the Ryka R.O.S.E. foundation as a platform to share her story as a survivor of rape and sexual assault to help other victims.
Sheri has inspired audiences in person, on TV and in the press by sharing her own, very personal story of triumph and overcoming adversity. She is a survivor of rape, violence against women and is a survivor of chronic illness, stress, and pain.

Summit Objectives
Campus leaders will be encouraged to develop a team of key campus stakeholders to create a comprehensive and integrated approach to preventing and responding to gender-based violence at their institutions. Furthermore, promoting a focused and coherent system of support that encourages respectful, non-violent relationships will also be addressed. The summit’s ultimate goal is to transform area colleges and universities to:
- Prevent abusive behaviors by engaging faculty, staff, and students in promoting healthy relationships;
- Ensure that the institution is prepared to respond promptly and effectively to incidents and reports of violence when they do occur; and
- Ultimately to change campus norms so that campus members hold themselves and each other to respectful and non-violent standards of interpersonal behavior.
The conceptual framework for this educational summit was developed with the assistance of the report Beyond Title IX: Guidelines for Preventing and Responding to Gender-Based Violence in Higher Education.
This document was developed by Futures Without Violence and the Avon Foundation for Women.
