  • Dr. Sheryl Heron Wins Gender Justice Award

    WRC board member Dr. Sheryl Heron has been awarded the 2006 Gender Justice Award by the Georgia Commission on Family Violence. Dr. Heron works as an Associate Professor in the Department of Emergency Medicine at Emory University, where her research focuses on preventing violence against women. Additionally, Dr. Heron is a practicing clinician at the Grady Hospital Emergency Room, where she also provides direct care to survivors of family violence. Dr. Heron’s unique role has allowed her to reach out to students and practitioners in the medical field to teach them how best to understand family violence. She has used her influence within both the medical and academic communities to challenge current responses to family violence and identify best practices for service.


    Champions for Change Planning is Underway

    Champions for Change is WRC's signature fundraising event and planning is currently underway. Last year nearly 400 people attended the luncheon and we raised over $220,000. This year the event will be held on April 10th at TWELVE Atlantic Station. Corporate sponsorships are still available at a variety of levels, and items are being collected for auction at the event. If your business would like to learn more about the marketing opportunities associated with sponsorship or item donation, please contact Amber Harris at (404) 370-7670 or download the corporate sponsorship packet from our website.
