For this lecture, President Nunes will explore the fundamental area of legislation and discuss the transformative impact that integrating a person-centered and trauma-informed approach can have on advancing a society rooted in equity, justice, and inclusivity.
Christian F. Nunes, MBA, MS, LCSW, is a dynamic advocate who made history when she assumed the role of NOW President in August 2020. Before this, she served as Vice President, appointed by the board in May 2019.
