WONDERFUL WCC WOMAN is all about the amazing women that are members of the Woman's Club of Concord...
Amanda Grady Sexton is the Director of Public Policy for the New Hampshire Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence.
Ms. Sexton has worked with the New Hampshire Legislature since 2001 to strengthen New Hampshire's domestic violence statute, to extend the civil statute of limitations in childhood sexual assault cases, and to criminalize human trafficking in the state. During the 2009 Legislative Session she worked alongside advocates and law enforcement to put New Hampshire into substantial compliance with the Federal Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act and to strengthen New Hampshire's sexual assault and sex offender registry laws.
In 2010 she worked to pass legislation that designates the act of strangulation as a felony level offense and to mandate that all convicted felons contribute their DNA to the national CODIS database. Ms. Grady was honored with the Union Leader's "40 Under Forty" award and the New Hampshire Governor's Commission on Domestic and Sexual Violence's "Honorable William B. Paine II Award” for her work in the field of victim's rights.
Ms. Sexton is an active volunteer for various charitable organizations and serves as a City Councilor in Concord, where she lives with her husband Adam and their baby Samuel.
