The Great Lakes States Summit on Firearm Violence was one of the main initiatives of the partnership. It was held April 9-11, 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. The goal of the summit was to draw on expertise and insights from law enforcement leaders, elected officials, researchers, medical and public health professionals and others to develop a regional, multi-disciplinary approach to reducing gun violence. Those in attendance developed recommendations that state and local policymakers, public health officials and law enforcement leaders can implement. The summit also helped establish a set of priorities for federal policy makers to aid efforts to reduce gun violence in the region.
