OUR MISSION & GOVERNANCE BOARD
From Juanita Shanks, President and CEO, FailSafe-ERA
I am honored to announce my appointment to the Virginia Department of Corrections Oversight committee.
Not only is this appointment personal to me but also a responsibility I do not take lightly. FailSafe-ERA is the Nonprofit Prisoner Advocacy Group Committee Member. I ask for your prayers and support as I serve our State in this role for the next 3 years.
It was an honor for me to be sworn in by the first female African American Judge for the 15th Judicial District - The Honorable Jane M. Reynolds!! @JMReynoldsLaw
Accompanied by my husband Jerome and members of the FailSafe Operations team: Joyce Kinnard (Office Manager) and Charissa McCall (Community Engagement Director)
