Jim Summey, D. D., Executive Director of High Point Community Against Violence, Inc. has been named a Senior Fellow in the Justice Programs Office (JPO) of the School of Public Affairs at American University. Senior Fellows provide multi-disciplinary and multi-jurisdictional perspectives to help guide justice system initiatives. Summey was invited because of his work with the violence reduction efforts here in High Point.
“This is an exciting time to work in the justice field and your perspective and experience will greatly enrich our work,” wrote Caroline S. Cooper, Director of the Justice Programs Office at American University in the invitation.
Summey began working as a volunteer with HPCAV while he was the Minister at English Road Baptist Church in High Point. He became Executive Director in 2009.
