President and CEO, Guideposts

John Temple is President and CEO of Guideposts, a spiritual non-profit publisher of inspirational magazines, books and online materials that was founded in 1945 by Norman Vincent Peale.  Mr. Temple previously served as founder and chief of the Human Trafficking Response Unit at the New York County District Attorney’s Office, where he supervised sex and labor trafficking investigations and prosecutions, and implemented innovative procedures and policies to better identify victims of human trafficking, provide greater support for victims and their families, and use data-based investigations to prosecute traffickers and those who facilitate trafficking.  Mr. Temple has lectured domestically and internationally on human trafficking.

“Human trafficking can only be properly combated when good people across many disciplines band together.  No one government, non-profit, or industry can do it alone.  United, we can succeed where individually we fail.”
