The OCBA is pleased to announce that OCBA member Adam Dodge, Legal Director at Laura's House, received the 2016 Bravery Award from the California Partnership to End Domestic Violence (CPEDV). The CPEDV is California’s recognized domestic violence coalition, representing over 1,000 advocates, organizations and allied groups.

The CPEDV works to align prevention and intervention strategies to advance social change, and each year the partnership selects a Bravery Award recipient who has taken significant risks, used exceptional creativity, and embraced nontraditional strategies to end domestic violence.

The award was presented to Dodge on Sept. 14, 2016 at the CPEDV Annual Statewide Policy Meeting in Riverside, Calif.
