Annual2015-2016 Report WOMEN’S CENTER OF JACKSONVILLE IMPROVING THE LIVES OF WOMEN

Dear Supporters, Donors and Friends, It was with great excitement that I officially began my new role with the Improving the Lives of Women Women’s Center of Jacksonville on April 4th, 2016. Working here has solidified my belief that this is exactly where I want to be. With every Board of Directors community meeting I attend, people speak highly about the wonderful work the Women’s Center has done over the past 20 plus years. My goal President moving forward is to ensure the stellar reputation of the Women’s Center Alma Ballard remains (and to continue the legacy Shirley Webb has entrusted to us all). I extend my thanks to Alma Ballard and the Board of Directors for their Immediate Past President leadership during the transition, and to Laurie Price who served as interim Alicia Grant director for three months following Shirley’s retirement at the end of 2015. 1st Vice President I have already had the privilege of meeting many key supporters during Teresa Miles Lisé Everly the events and activities in which the Women’s Center is involved. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month and we presented several events 2nd Vice President throughout the month to raise awareness of the critical issue of sexual Margo Castro violence. In May we listened to Melissa Ross, host and producer of WJCT’s Treasurer First Coast Connect, speak about “the road to gender equality,” during Laura VanZee the 2016 Women, Words & Wisdom Speaker Event. We also honored ten Unsung Sheroes all of whom have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to Secretary improve the lives of women. And in August, we were joined by Sheriff Laura Chambers Atkins Mike Williams who made his debut as an auctioneer and helped us raise money at the Annual Celebration of Women event to support our many Board Members programs and services. Alma Ballard Marsha Base Beth Clark As the fiscal year drew to a close at the end of September 2016, we came several steps closer to our vision of purchasing a permanent home for the Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) Program. Michael Clarke We identified a building on Emerson Street that will someday become a state of the art facility Teri Coutu that will provide immediate safety and support for victims of sexual assault in Duval, Nassau and Vickie Friedman Baker Counties. The vision is becoming a reality. Jackie Glass Special thanks to the Delores Barr Weaver Fund for the generous Challenge Match and to Sherri Litt Mayo Clinic for their 2016 Signature Sponsorship.
