It has been my honor to serve as Executive Director for the National Law Center for Children and Families. In the past three years, I have learned a great deal.  I have met over 700 law enforcement professionals at NLC Protects seminars, I have presented NLC Child Defender of the Month Awards to deserving individuals across the country, and I have read recent studies showing that 1 in 7 children on-line receive a sexual solicitation.  Throughout my tenure, news segments and reality television shows have raised the public's attention regarding the threat of sex offenders in the community.
