The Faces Behind EXPO of Wisconsin's Mission
J erome Dillard, the Executive Director and Co-Founder of EXPO, brings a wealth of expe- rience and dedication to his role. His profound understanding of the challenges faced by sys- tem-impacted individuals stems from his person- al encounters with incarceration, which he views as a systemic issue draining hope from communi- ties. Through his leadership at EXPO, Jerome aims to advocate for transformative change within the justice system, seeking to dismantle structural dis- crimination and ensure that individuals reenter- ing society are treated with dignity and provided the necessary resources for successful reintegra- tion. Jerome's impactful work involves a multifaceted approach that includes mentoring system-im- pacted individuals directly and engaging in policy reform efforts with key stakeholders. By amplify- ing the voices and narratives of those affected by the justice system, Jerome strives to foster under- standing, empathy, and meaningful change within Wisconsin's legal framework. His ability to cul- tivate relationships based on trust and account- ability has enabled him to collaborate effectively with various organizations and agencies, shaping policies that support reentry and rehabilitation initiatives.
