MOCSA – Johnson County Fall Forum

Metropolitan Organization to Counter Sexual Assault (MOCSA) held its 14th annual Johnson County Fall Forum at the Overland Park Sheraton on October 20th. Laura and Spence Fitzgibbons were the honorary chairmen, and Kristin Wing and Kathy Woodward served as co-chairmen. The Luncheon featured MOCSA’s Johnson County School District panel discussion on the Green Dot program (designed to decrease bullying, dating violence and harassment in schools), and Survivor Speaker Monica Gray shared her experiences with sexual violence. More than 340 guests attended the event, where they learned more about MOCSA and its services in Johnson County.
