How can we move beyond the notion that there are “others” among “us” and “find a common place that we can all call home"? This is one of the questions that Judy East will explore in her keynote address. East is the director of the Bureau of Resource Information and Land Use Planning in the Maine Dept. of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry. Learn more about East's career path and experience working across divides.
