the first Wake Up Call for our new Board President. Harvard magna cum
laude, Conna Craig returns home to Northern California. Ms. Craig was
formerly the Director and President of the Institute for Children.
Ms. Craig brought to the Institute effective and humane approaches to
substitute care. For 15 years she advised governors, other policy
makers and opinion leaders on practical steps to take to restructure
foster care and adoption and help tens of thousands of children find
permanent families.
The Nov. 6th Wake Up Call 2008 is a fundraising breakfast celebrating
the 30th Anniversary of WOMAN, Inc. "WOMAN" stands for Women Organized
to Make Abuse Nonexistent. This domestic violence crisis agency has
served the needs of women and children survivors in the Bay Area since
1978.
Last year WOMAN, Inc.'s 24/7 domestic violence crisis line handled
more than 17,000 calls -- each call from an individual who needed
support, counsel, and someone to "hear" her. Our 40 state-certified
advocates took the calls, serving women from across the Bay Area, from
all different demographics. WOMAN, Inc. also provided over 600 hours
of individual therapy, along with peer support groups, education and
outreach and a host of other services. WOMAN, Inc. is a lifeline for
domestic violence survivors.
