This interview was a pleasure and an honor...and one which I had been looking forward to for a long time. And I wasn't disappointed; Joanne started at the beginning of her law enforcement career as a patrol officer in the San Diego Police Department, and progressed to where she is today as Executive Director of the End Violence Against Women-International, non-profit organization for law enforcement training. She shares many stories of trials and struggles throughout her years as a police officer, as well as the joys and triumphs she's had along the way. She also talks about the challenges that she and her staff and Board of Directors have in keeping the organization running in these financially lean times, with an eye on how things are still growing and flourishing. You'll agree with me, I'm sure, that Joanne is an inspirational and heroic leader and visionary, and like me, you won't be disappointed in listening to this interview.
