Speakers

Doug Dunbar is one of the few people (maybe the only person) who can say that he has had dinner at both the White House and at Penobscot County Jail. Today, Doug is in long-term recovery and is working at Eastern Maine Development Corporation to bring workforce opportunities and support to countless people in our area. We discuss how jail impacted his work now, what workforce opportunities are available and how people can access career help. He has a story of hope and hard work. It is also a reminder that substance use can affect anyone of us no matter our economic, education or family history.
