CROP’s Signature Event - Steps to Success: An Evening of Transformation, Leadership, and Hope
CROP’s Signature Event is more than a gathering—it’s a celebration of human potential, second chances, and the transformative power of opportunity. Bringing together thought leaders, change-makers, and supporters from across the nation, the evening will showcase inspiring stories, visionary leadership, and the work CROP is doing to break the cycle of incarceration through career development, leadership training, and reentry support.
A highlight of this year’s event will be a fireside chat between renowned journalist and CROP Board Member, Lisa Ling, and Larry Miller, the former President of the Jordan Brand and the Portland Trail Blazers.
Lisa Ling is an award-winning journalist, documentarian, and storyteller whose work has spanned the globe, giving voice to untold stories and advocating for greater understanding and empathy.

Larry Miller is one of the most respected executives in sports and business, having led the iconic Jordan Brand to unprecedented growth and serving as President of the Portland Trail Blazers. Behind his success is a remarkable story of redemption: as a justice-impacted leader, Larry has been open about his past incarceration and the importance of creating pathways for others to succeed after prison. His journey embodies the belief that with opportunity and support, people can rewrite their futures and achieve greatness.
Together, Lisa Ling and Larry Miller will explore themes of resilience, leadership, and social responsibility—offering personal insights into how society, business, and individuals can drive meaningful change in the lives of justice-impacted people.
