HBC is proud to announce that John Clune has received the YWCA 100th Anniversary Active Ally Award from YWCA Boulder County.
A nationally recognized sexual abuse attorney, John Clune has been successfully litigating on behalf of survivors of assault and harassment in courts and campus proceedings for nearly 25 years.
“We are honored to recognize John for the incredible leadership he has demonstrated and the impact he is making in our community for women, girls and all people,” said Debbie Pope, CEO, YWCA Boulder County.
The YWCA selected John for the Ally Award for his work “as a champion of women, girls and all who identify as female in their community and/or workplaces and is an example of how those who identify as male can improve workplaces and communities so women, girls and all who identify as female can be treated equitably and thrive.”
HBC has been representing student victims of sexual assault and harassment – and many sexual assault and harassment victims in non-educational settings – for more than 20 years.
To be considered for this award, candidates must exemplify values that align with the mission of the YWCA in eliminating racism and empowering women and girls. Nominees for this award should demonstrate they are working to challenge systems, structures and institutions for the greater advancement and equity of women, girls and all who identify as female.
