Keynote Speaker
Randy Anderson
National Recovery & Criminal Justice Reform Advocate
A man in long-term recovery, Randy Anderson is a nationally recognized and celebrated advocate for recovery and criminal justice reform. He’s currently the Overdose Prevention Manager for Steve Rummler HOPE Network— the organization responsible for passing “Steve’s Law” in 2014.
He also serves on the board of directors of the MN Second Chance Coalition. During the 2015/2016 legislative session, Randy and others testified before several legislative committees at drug sentencing reform hearings.
Randy will share his recovery journey and discuss how their testimonies prompted the State’s most significant change in drug sentencing in nearly 30 years.
Immediately following the Recovery Advocacy Seminar, Randy will conduct a free training about Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) and the role Naxolone/NARCAN® can play in preventing overdose fatalities.
