Judy Utter – MADD Victim Specialist
Overview of MADD and How You Can Make A Difference
MADD Victim Specialist, Judy Utter, presented compelling information to support the mission of MADD which is to stop drunk driving, support the victims of this violent crime, and prevent underage drinking.
Judy shared with us her personal story of involvement with MADD resulting from the 1990 death of her daughter Jennifer in a teenage DUI crash in Carmichael, CA.
Of the many services MADD provides, Judy states that the victim support groups are the best kept secret, a secret she would like to let out. In addition to victim support, there are programs to encourage zero tolerance for underage drinking as well as community candlelight vigils in tribute to victims/survivors of drunk driving crashes. The next Candle Light Vigil scheduled in this area will be held on December 3rd in Lathrop.
Judy Utter was introduced by Bill Gass.
