GUEST SPEAKER: Eric Colton
Chairman of the Board & Founder of Untrafficked
We all know children who may be subject to this problem. Check out Eric’s links below for details. Come to our meeting/presentation to learn/understand and learn how Eric uniquely attacks this problem.
Eric discovered that the United States had become #1 in child sex trafficking and that most Americans were not aware of this issue. He also learned that many existing anti-trafficking organizations are small, local organizations, mostly operated by survivors of abuse and sex trafficking that lack the means or tools necessary to provide adequate care and make a lasting impact. In response, he recruited a highly capable team to take on this issue and formed Untrafficked®, a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization to disrupt the child trafficking ecosystem, support survivors, collaborate with other nonprofits, then inform,equip, empower, and mobilize Americans to do their part to combat this horrific crime.
Eric has led Untrafficked® to be recognized as a leading national organization that has made a significant impact in combatting domestic child grooming, trafficking, and exploitation. Eric has served as an executive for companies in the following marketing sectors: mergers and acquisitions, high tech, security, cyber security, threat intelligence, tactical gear, energy, consulting, government contracting, and footwear and apparel manufacturing. He has served on the following boards: Fans Against Violence, Care Net, Threat Clear, Zero Quadrant, and Invincible sports. Eric was an All-American swimmer, Far Western League champion in Alpine Skiing, built the security ministry for his church in Dallas, TX, served as a victim relief minister, and serves in his local church.
Eric earned his education from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX and De Anza College in Cupertino, California. Eric is a faithful husband and father to 4 wonderful children.
