Nevada Domestic Violence Prevention Council Seeking New Members
CARSON CITY – The Nevada Council for the Prevention of Domestic Violence is seeking new members. The application is brief and submissions will be accepted now through July 31.
The mission of the council includes providing direction to the governor and the Legislature on statewide domestic violence policy and legislation; increasing public awareness of the magnitude and seriousness of domestic violence and sexual assault; advocating appropriate changes in law enforcement procedure; and increasing access to legal and medical services to survivors.
As a statewide panel, the council seeks to be geographically balanced, culturally diverse and representative of the various disciplines involved in domestic violence issues.
The council meets quarterly in either Reno or Las Vegas and currently consists of a wide spectrum of community members, including educators, business and health care professionals, service providers, law enforcement, judiciary, prosecutors, advocates, and domestic violence victims and survivors.
Travel and per diem reimbursement are provided for official council functions.
The application is available on the attorney general’s website.
For more information or to receive the application by mail or fax, please contact: Kareen Prentice, domestic violence ombudsman, at 775.688-1818.
