Just about two weeks until it begins. So far we have 47 advocates from CASAs, Sexual Assault programs, District Attorney’s Offices, Survivors of Homicide and Domestic Violence agencies registered. It’s a good mix of people and discussions are sure to be interesting. At the end of this training, graduates are able to apply for the Basic Victim Advocacy Certification thru NOVA (National Organization for Victim Assistance). There is still space available if anyone is interested in attending this training. The next Basic VAT will not take place until 2010 so take advantage of it now. Go to the CVRC home page, click on VAT Information and it will take you to a page with a registration link and information about the text and chapter questions. The registration cost is $350 that includes lodging, meals and classroom materials (except the text). It’s a bargain and provides you with an opportunity to be among your peers, take a needed break from your work schedule, increase your knowledge and get support for the very hard work you do.

It is so nice to be working with such a nice group of people. Everyone has made me feel so welcome. Thank you all. I just moved back here to Albuquerque in late March from Las Vegas, Nevada after being there for almost two years. Before that, I was a probation officer in Sandoval County and worked there for 5 years. Most of my adulthood has been spent in Europe where I lived from 1982-2001. Europe is my second home but it was time for me to come back home. I’m married to Keith and we have four daughters and 4 grandchildren (three grandsons and one granddaughter.) You can just imagine the chaos that fills our home during the holidays. We love it though. I’m looking forward to working with all of you and learning from you as well. Thank you again for making me feel welcome. I can be reached at 505-841-9432 or by e-mail at CVRC@state.nm.us M y name is Tammi Lambert, and it is with excitement and anticipation that I begin working here at CVRC. I am an enrolled member of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe, of the Ollero clan, the Mountain People. I am an oil painter, a voracious reader, and a mom of two soccer playing kids: Imani, who is 14, and Olivia, who is allegedly 6. Originally from Los Angeles, I came to New Mexico over 15 years ago to be closer to my Native roots and to finish school. Since receiving my bachelors degree and my Juris Doctorate from UNM, I have been practicing as an attorney for nine years in the areas of domestic violence and crime victim rights. For the past four and a half years I worked as a policy advisor in the Governor’s Office, and had the honor of being able to initiate and lobby several vital victim rights laws into the statute books. I see my tenure at CVRC as my next step forward, and I am excited to be a part of the CVRC team. I can be reached at 505-841-9432 or by e-mail at Tammi.Lambert@state.nm.us I ’m Margie Lang, formerly from the Governor’s Office of Victim Advocacy. I have been selected for the position of Grants Program Specialist and will work with Robin (VOCA) and Sheila (VAWA) to provide programmatic and administrative support with the VOCA and VAWA grant programs. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with such a professional team. During my tenure with GOVA, I provided oversight and advocacy to crime victims, coordinated public awareness and education programs, and participated in coordinated community response teams, as well as many other activities regarding crime victim rights issues. I was born and raised in Ohio, but have lived in New Mexico for 33 years. I’m married to the man of my dreams, and between us we have 3 adult children, 2 granddaughters, 2 cats and plenty of social activities for entertainment. I love travel, photography, gardening, hiking, biking, museums, beaches/oceans, and activities involving family and friends. I look forward to working with people statewide who are dedicated in helping crime victims and families. 2 I can be reached at 505-841-9432 or by e-mail at Margie.Lang@state.nm.us NMCVRC NEWS Training Calendar R egistration is 15 minutes BEFORE the scheduled workshop time.
