The discussion will feature panelists Eric Howard, who in 1996 founded Outreach Inc. to serve homeless and at-risk youth in Indianapolis; Charles Haenlein, president and chief executive officer of the Indiana Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation; and Carter Wolf, executive director of Horizon House, a day center that provides support services to Indianapolis’ homeless population. Indianapolis Star columnist Matthew Tully will moderate the panel.
The April 2 First Wednesday event will address “Buses, trains, and monorails: Can mass transit make it in Indianapolis?” The panel for the May 7 and final First Wednesday of the series will discuss “Children’s rights: Are our children at the mercy of the state…or their parents?” Panelists have yet to be determined for the April and May events.
