Hello,
I am thrilled to announce that Nicolle Perras from the Office of Women’s Health at DPH has agreed to be the Interim Executive Director of the DV Council until a permanent replacement is hired. Nicolle will take over on January 1, 2022. Nicolle brings a deep understanding of IPV as well as a kind and generous spirit. I know that you will all enjoy working with her and I am thankful to Nicolle for her leadership.
Here is some additional information about Nicolle:
Nicolle Perras, MPH, LMFT has worked at the intersections of public and mental health for 20 years conducting research, data surveillance, program development and evaluation and providing clinical services. Her areas of expertise include gender-based violence (intimate partner violence, sexual violence, human trafficking and the commercial and sexual exploitation of children), suicide prevention, impacts of trauma on health and wellbeing, trauma informed care and vicarious trauma, staff wellbeing, and connecting the dots between multiple forms of violence. Nicolle has worked for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health for nearly 17 years. She received both her Bachelor of Arts (BA) in psychology and Master in Public Health (MPH) in Community Health Science from UCLA, and a Master of Couple and Family Counseling from Alliant University (CSSP). Nicolle is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Los Angeles, California.
Isabel Checa who has been working with the DVC since September will also be here and Jolene Cooper (who has kept this whole thing running!) is here as well. I am confident that I can retire leaving a strong and dedicated team in charge. The posting for the new ED will be out shortly. If you are interested in applying, I recommend that you continue to check the LA County Job Opportunities site (https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/LACOUNTY). The job is not posted today, but will be posted soon. I do not have any further information about this so I cannot answer questions about what day it will be posted, etc.
As always, thanks to all for your amazing work.
Eve

National Association of Counsel for Children
45th National Child Welfare Law Conference

Virtual Conference
The Comfort of Your Home!

The National Association of Counsel for Children seeks abstract submissions for its 45th National Child Welfare Law Conference. NACC’s vision is that every child and family involved with the court system is well-represented by a lawyer who works to ensure that every child is raised by a nurturing family and has positive life opportunities. The annual conference is an opportunity for us to bring together professionals from child welfare and other intersecting fields and further the goals in NACC’s strategic plan through the exchange of ideas, information, and collective efforts.
The theme of this year’s conference is Bridging Theory to Practice: Learning & Unlearning to Drive Effective Advocacy. NACC seeks abstract submissions that translate bold, innovative ideas into action and convey concrete tips and skills for all attorneys and professionals to integrate into their daily practice. The conference will highlight and elevate the voices of youth and parents with lived expertise and those disproportionately impacted by systems involvement, particularly Black and Indigenous families.
NACC will host the 45th National Child Welfare Conference in a dual-format: in-person at the Baltimore Marriot Waterfront in August, and online in September. NACC seeks abstract submissions from presenters willing to present in-person, virtually, or in both formats.

Abstracts are due Tuesday, February 1, 2022;
no late submissions will be considered.

NACC strongly encourages and will evaluate diversity in abstract submissions, which includes diversity in faculty, topic areas, and geographic representation. NACC also encourages multidisciplinary faculty panels, presentations that include youth and parents formerly involved in the child welfare system, and presentations by Child Welfare Law Specialists.
NACC Non-Discrimination Policy
It is the policy of the National Association of Counsel for Children not to discriminate against any individual or group on the basis of race, culture, ethnicity, national origin, religion or religious beliefs, physical or mental disability or handicap, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression, or age. NACC embraces diversity among its Board, staff, members, and volunteers.
