Dr. Kimberly Dickman, Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Analyst, United States Air Force Academy
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. She 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.

2018 speakers and program information
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.

Patty Crawford, Former Title IX Coordinator, Baylor University
Featured speaker, Patty Crawford, former Title IX Coordinator for Baylor University, will talk about her experiences with the school's sexual assault scandal. During her time at Baylor, Crawford worked with hundreds of sexual assault and intimate partner violence victims and survivors. Although she improved Baylor's Title IX policies and procedures, she ultimately filed an official complaint with the Office for Civil Rights and resigned her position. The presentation will focus on her experiences with the hope of helping other institutions with their responses to gender and relationship violence.
Patty Crawford became the university's first full-time Title IX Coordinator when she joined Baylor in November 2014. Frustrated with the lack of institutional support, Crawford resigned two years later. Crawford is dedicated to ending corrupt practices and continues to assist institutions and organizations across the country with Title IX compliance and violence prevention.
