Our Advisory Board

The Brave fACEs Advisory Board is a dedicated group of community members who bring lived experience, professional insight, and a shared commitment to preventing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Formed as part of the Brave fACEs initiative, this advisory board plays a vital role in shaping the direction and impact of our work by ensuring it remains community-informed, responsive, and inclusive.

 

Members of the Advisory Board represent a diverse range of backgrounds—including education, health care, advocacy, social services, and lived experience with ACEs—and serve as trusted voices to guide our strategies. Together, we collaborate to strengthen local partnerships, elevate community voices, and create meaningful, sustainable change for children and families across Lincoln and Lancaster County.
