About the Event

The Courage Awards honors individuals or groups who have shown fortitude, strength, and dedication to empowering domestic violence survivors and their families through volunteerism, philanthropy, and commitment to eradicating violence from our communities. These awards are given by Peace at Home Family Shelter to acknowledge the contributions of the individuals who best exemplify our mission: to empower victims of domestic violence to survive and thrive.

We are excited to host this event with 400 community supporters to recognize Judge Joanna Taylor and to raise critical support for Peace at Home Family Shelter!

The Honoree

Judge Joanna Taylor

Judge Joanna Taylor has served as the 4th Judicial Circuit Court of Arkansas since her election in 2010. Judge Taylor was instrumental in the creation of the Washington County Domestic Violence Specialty Court, which eliminated the need for victims to repeat their experience in multiple hearings before different judges. Judge Taylor has consistently prioritized victim protection and family rehabilitation, and her work has made a significant impact on the way survivors in our community navigate the legal system.

The Speaker

Dean Cynthia Nance

Cynthia Nance serves as the dean of the University of Arkansas School of Law.
