Mr. Pagano then organized a ‘Safe Team Coalition’ that was recognized by General Motors (GM) for its work. Innovative safety education programs followed which addressed emerging issues.

Through Len’s leadership, the Safe America Foundation has developed educational and practical safety and preparedness programs for businesses and communities. These include safety product distribution, national youth programming, international travel security, and advocating that non-profit organizations screen volunteers (to avoid predatory activities by adults).

What would you say to those who think, “Why give them a second chance? They’ve already committed a crime.”? Is it wise to provide “charity” to people coming out of prison? (Alternatively, “How is Georgia CALLS different from other charities? What is unique about your approach?”) You’ve mentioned that Georgia CALLS is a pilot program. What kind of results have you seen so far? What is the most important lesson that you have learned over the last 18 months? Why should Georgia CALLS matter to the business community? What are your plans for the future? How can you scale what you are doing to make a larger impact? (Alternatively, “20 people is a drop in the bucket compared to the scale of the problem.
