In this episode of URMIA Matters, Julie Groves, URMIA’s immediate past-president and Director of Risk Services at Wake Forest University, interviews Lindsay Bond, Executive Director at HEPNet, about her important journey into the realm of youth protection. Lindsay shares how her career path took her from teaching to sports management to being passionate about the protection of minors. Noticing a gap in the association world for those working in youth protection, she and along with other like-minded colleagues founded the association known as HEPNet, the Higher Education Protection Network, as a community to share resources and knowledges with fellow youth protection professionals. Julie and Lindsay also explore the framework that HEPNet’s new Professional Competencies for Youth Protection in Higher Education provides for those interested in learning more. Additionally, Lindsay discusses HEPNet’s Youth Protection 101 pre-conference workshop at URMIA’s upcoming Annual Conference 2024, and what attendees hope to learn. Tune in to this episode to hear all about HEPNet and the protection of minors!
