Newsletter: Summer 2004: Alliance Announcements
Welcome to Tamara Pollak, our new Forensic Healthcare Program Director. Tamara received her Masters of Public Health from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Previously, she founded the Adolescent Sexual Assault Program at Mt. Sinai Adolescent Health Center and served there as an RN providing care to adolescent survivors.The Alliance thanks New York State Senator Tom Duane who generously contributed $5,000 to the Alliance. The funds will support a prevention education initiative for young men. This is the third year that Senator Duane has supported the Alliance’s efforts, and we thank him and his staff for their continued dedication to sexual assault issues.
The Alliance held its first benefit to celebrate our fifth anniversary. “5 Years Strong” honored City Council Member Chris Quinn, Dr. Richard Daines, CEO of St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center, and the Alliance’s outside counsel Tod Reichert of Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, LLP. The Alliance was presented with a Proclamation from the City Council and a citation from NY State Attorney General Elliot Spitzer. Thank you to all who attended and contributed.
The New York Women’s Foundation awarded the Alliance a Violence Against Women grant to create public awareness materials for Sexual Assault Awareness Month 2005. The Foundation is a cross-cultural alliance of women helping low-income women and girls in the five boroughs to achieve sustained economic security through expanded opportunities.
Listen: 24 Hours of Survivors Stories a success! Despite the rain, volunteers came to City Hall throughout the day and night to read survivors’ stories. Council Member Chris Quinn and detectives from the NYPD Special Victims Liaison Unit joined the reading. Thank you to the SAAM Planning Committee and all the volunteers for your dedication! To help plan next year’s event, call 212.523.4344.
