Governor’s Domestic Violence Prevention and Response Advisory Board Subcommittee on Underserved Populations Call for Public Comment
When: Tuesday, June 21, 2011 from 1:00 to 4:00
(Public Comment from 2:00 to 2:45)
Where: James Monroe Building, 101 N. 14th Street, Richmond, VA 23219
Who: Those who work with or identify as:
1. elderly victims, and/or
2. victims with disabilities, and/or
3. victims with mental health conditions
How: You are invited to come to Richmond and offer brief comments to the
subcommittee members on how services in Virginia could be enhanced for those
who identify as one of the underserved populations. (We know that there are many
other populations that may be underserved in your community, but this committee is
currently limited to addressing only the three populations mentioned above.)
An alternative: If you are unable to come to Richmond on June 21, you may also
consider sending your written statement to be read to the subcommittee in your
absence. If you do this, please include your name and contact information (if it is
safe to contact you), the name of the domestic violence program in your community,
whether of not you used their services, and your recommendations to enhance the
services to these populations.
Written comments may be emailed to: nancy.fowler@dss.virginia.gov or faxed to
804-726-7088. Those planning to make a public comment may indicate by email (not
required, but this will help with planning the meeting).
Your voice is important and your perspective is valued.
Thank you for participating in this process!
