TIME IS NOW ACTION COALITION

At the Board Meeting of NCJW BCS on June 12, Helen Archontou, CEO of the YWCA Bergen County, presented an overview of the Time Is Now Action Coalition.  Ina Miller Silverstein introduced Helen and remarked, “The Coalition is a continuation of the conversation that began at our November forum entitled Sexual Violence: Changing the Culture.”  NCJW BCS is proud to be a member of the Coalition with several Section members participating in work groups.
