Chief Strategy Officer, Prevent Child Abuse America<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Jennifer Jones currently serves as the Chief Strategy Officer at Prevent Child Abuse America (PCAA) where she develops, implements and advocates for an integrated strategic framework to help grow PCAA\u2019s leadership role consistent with national prevention priorities, and serves as the lead on regional and national strategic partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to her role with PCAA, Jones was the Director of the Change in Mind Institute and the Co-Director of the Safety and Resilience Impact Area at the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities. Jones led all aspects of the Institute, including raising $1.7 million for the Texas Change in Mind Learning Collaborative and National Impact Study. Jones also served as the Project Director of the Child Safety Forward Initiative, a three-year Department of Justice cooperative agreement working with 5 jurisdictions to develop community-led, systematic solutions to reduce child fatalities caused by child maltreatment. Jones worked closely with the Alliance policy team, other national organizations and congressional representatives to advance brain science infused policy and trauma-informed care legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preceding her role at the Alliance, Jones served as the Associate Director of the Wisconsin Children\u2019s Trust Fund (CTF). In her last two years at the agency, Jones served as Interim Executive Director, at the Board\u2019s request, and coordinated all activities related to the Governor-appointed Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board, including managing all operations, and overseeing the agency\u2019s budget and grantmaking functions. Before her positions with the Children\u2019s Trust Fund, Jennifer served as the communications specialist in the Secretary\u2019s Office at the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families and as a child welfare policy advisor in the Wisconsin Division of Children and Family Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jones is an affiliate of the Institute for Child and Family Well-Being, a joint project of Children\u2019s Wisconsin and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.  Jones is also a member of the National HOPE (Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences) Advisory Board and serves on the Board of Directors of the Hunger Task Force.  Jennifer received her master\u2019s in social work from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and bachelor\u2019s in social work from Marquette University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
