Come join us as Rotary participates in Houston Airports’ Human Trafficking Awareness Event, 14 April, 9:30 AM at the The Wortham Center. As part of a recently approved Anti-Child Sex Trafficking Global Grant, Rotary will be debuting a new Social Media video citing the signs, signals, and threats to our children by Cartel-driven Sex Traffickers in Harris and surrounding counties.

The event will open at 9:30 a.m., giving attendees time to connect with partners and explore on-site resources. At 10:00 a.m., participants will hear a press conference led by city leaders, highlighting the scope of human trafficking in our region, current efforts underway, and the shared responsibility to protect children and vulnerable populations.

At 10:45 a.m., the program will continue with a panel discussion featuring experts from law enforcement, healthcare, and victim service providers, moderated by Rhonda Kuykendall, MSW, a Rotarian and member of the Texas Human Trafficking Survivor Leader Council. Panelists will discuss what trafficking looks like in real-world settings, what professionals and community members often miss, and how coordinated, trauma-informed responses can interrupt exploitation while supporting victim healing and recovery.

Attendees can engage with a walkthrough exhibit by redM and HPE Avatar, offering an immersive look at how traffickers operate and how awareness, technology, and community vigilance can be leveraged to prevent it. Advocacy and educational resources will be available throughout the event, and a light lunch will be provided. 

Let’s demonstrate Rotary’s powerful commitment to this mission by having a large presence on 14 April.

Stan Galanski , Anti_Human Trafficking Chair will be there. Please reach out to him of you have any questions.

Fred Flickinger was sworn into office on January 2, 2024. He is serving his first term as the Houston City Council Member for District E and brings his skills and experience as both a business and community leader to create lasting change at City Hall.

Fred believes in focusing on the core responsibilities of city government by making public safety a top priority, enhancing flood mitigation, prioritizing infrastructure improvements, and restoring fiscal responsibility. Public safety is the foundation upon which all other aspects of our community are built. By working together to create a safe and secure District E, we can ensure that our neighborhoods thrive, and our families are able to live, work, and play without fear.

Fred is an owner of Flickinger Machine, a family business which has been in operation since 1978. Prior to managing the family business, he was an executive for a logistics corporation for 27 years. Fred’s business experience enables him to bring real work insights and solutions-oriented approaches to city council.

A strong believer in being civically engaged in his community, Fred recently served as President of the Lake Houston Pachyderm Club and spearheaded their voter education efforts. He currently serves on the Senate District 4 Advisory Board to be a proponent of grassroots initiatives. Fred is also a long-time volunteer and supporter of the Prison Entrepreneurship Program which connects business leaders with incarcerated individuals to instill business acumen and provide mentorship.

A proud Houstonian for over 50 years, Fred has been a part of District E since childhood. He grew up in the Sagemont area, lived in Clear Lake and now resides in Kingwood. Fred credits his involvement in the community and local politics for his belief in wanting to affect change.
