EXPERT ALERTS:
Protecting Children From Abuse
Andrew Shubin
Sexual Abuse Attorney
Law Office of Andrew Shubin
"When Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown leaders gave pedophile priests access to children, and the time and space to groom and abuse them, they betrayed children, families and a community. Many in the Catholic community seek absolution for a church and a religion by arguing that the conviction of specific abusers settles the issue of culpability. We can expect a similar refrain from church officials over the new grand jury report released by PA Attorney General Kathleen Kane on Tuesday, March 1. Institutions do more than enable abuse, they cause it. Protecting our children demands more than jailing a predator -- it requires holding institutions and their leaders accountable for betraying and catastrophically injuring our children."
Shubin led the charge to hold Penn State accountable for its role in the decades-long sexual abuse of boys at the hands of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky. He represented Sandusky victims 2, 3, 7 and 10, Matt Sandusky, and others in their historic civil settlements with Penn State. His work was featured in "Happy Valley," a documentary detailing the Penn State scandal.

Finding and Developing Talent in the Engineering Industry
L. Joe Boyer
CEO, North America
Atkins Global
"With the talent gap continuing to widen, our sector will have to continue to come up with creative ideas for finding and developing new engineering talent. We have started early in the recruiting process of engineers by working with high school kids and getting them interested in our industry with ideas and projects they can relate to, such as drones."
Based in Austin, Texas, Boyer can discuss how demand outpaces the supply of talent in the engineering industry and the gap in the specialty skill set, such as the shortage of transportation infrastructure engineers across the country.
