CJJ

The Coalition for Juvenile Justice hired from within and made Marie Williams’ its executive director. Williams has led the 30-year-old, D.C.-based coalition of state advisory groups on juvenile justice since August, when its longtime executive director Nancy Gannon-Hornberger left  to run Social Advocates for Youth San Diego.

After spending last week at one of the country’s biggest child welfare pow-wows – the annual Alliance for Children and Families conference – Youth Services Insider is back in the Midwest.

Nancy Gannon Hornberger will resign as executive director of the Washington-based Coalition for Juvenile Justice (CJJ), a national membership group for state advisers on juvenile justice, in August. Hornberger steps down after seven years at the head of the coalition.
