The Jacksonville Community Council Inc.

Improving the Lives of Women Alliance through the Community Foundation, our counseling program was able to serve more women. Board of Directors A dedicated task force conducted a series of meetings throughout the year for the Sexual Assault Forensic Exam (SAFE) program. The Women’s Center President of Jacksonville received a signed Memorandum of Agreement with the City Alicia Grant of Jacksonville and effective October 1, 2014, the Women’s Center assumed Shirley Webb responsibility for this program. Immediate Past President Margo Castro During the same period, the Rape Recovery Team conducted extensive outreach in Nassau County in an effort to engage community partners and 1st Vice President increase awareness about services available for survivors.

Board Members Women, Words & Wisdom, our Speaker Series, presented Genie James, Audrey Moran and Chevara Laura Chambers Atkins Orrin at the Riverside House. In late August we hosted the 19th annual Celebration of Women at Heather Webb Bryant with a silent auction, live music, a tribute to the women who secured the Michael Clarke right to vote in 1920, and testimony from two committed women from the Expanded Horizons Literacy Program – one student and one tutor. Dale Clifford Lisé Everly As Expanded Horizons clients said recently upon passing their GED’s, “If I can do it, so can other women who have hopes and dreams just like me!” “I am so thankful that I found the Women’s Susanne Gross Center...” “I had given up hope, at one point, but you all kept calling me, encouraging me to not Jacquelyn Nash quit.” “The Women’s Center has helped me in so many ways. I don’t know what I would have done Juliet Rogers without it.” Josh Shilts Thank you to each of you – our donors, sponsors, supporters and volunteers – we could not have Zendra Spikes done it without you.
