Nancy Turner is the Police Response
to Violence Against Women Project Coordinator for the
International Association of Chiefs of Police where since 1998
her work has focused on the issues of police officers who commit
domestic violence and full faith and credit for orders of
protection. She has been a victim advocate and activist on
issues of violence against women for the last sixteen years. She
began her commitment as a volunteer and has worked with
survivors in a variety of capacities including hotline
counselor, court advocate, and support group facilitator. Nancy
spent five years in the early ‘90s as a congressional lobbyist
for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence working for
passage of the Violence Against Women Act. Prior to the IACP,
Nancy worked for a battered women’s shelter in Arlington, VA
where she initiated and directed a transitional housing program.
Nancy also serves as a member of The George Washington
University faculty in the Women’s Studies program where she has
been teaching since 1990. In 2001, she was awarded the Ruth
Osborne Award by The George Washington University for making
policy in the interests of women. The Virginians Against
Domestic Violence gave Nancy the Social Justice Peace Award in
2000. As a volunteer, she sits on the City of Alexandria’s
Community Services Board and the city’s Commission on AIDS.
Nancy earned her BS from the University of Connecticut in 1986
and MA in public policy and women’s studies from The George
Washington University. |
