Violence against women remains a critical issue globally, and is a barrier to reaching equality. In the spirit of thinking globally and acting locally, I am eager to support DOVE’s outstanding work on the South Shore and to increase awareness of the issue of domestic violence in our communities. I fully support DOVE’s tag line – Every home should be a safe home. Fun Fact! I am deaf in my left ear, so if I appear to be ignoring you, try the other side. Back to Board of Directors
