NAME: Jean Morrison

AGE: 38

HOME: Canyon Country

PROFESSION: Owner of Morrison Communications, which specializes in media relations, event planning and nonprofit development; volunteer co-founder since 1993 of the local chapter of the “Clothesline Project,” a traveling display of decorated T-shirts created by women who have been sexually, physically or emotionally abused.

LATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT: One of 10 “Women of the Year” in 2000 selected by the Los Angeles County Commission for Women, for her work to end violence against women.

GOALS FOR 2001: To move the local chapter of the “Clothesline Project” out of her garage and into a Van Nuys office, making it more accessible for victims. The move will enable her to better document the 800 T-shirts in the collection that demonstrate powerful messages of hurt and healing from victims. She also plans to launch the San Fernando Valley Youth Violence Prevention Network, a resource of statistics, contacts and information for police, educators, parents and community groups trying to fight youth violence.
