In addition to his work on behalf of the NCVC, Hewitt has also advocated on a local, state and national level through his service to Atlanta Victim Assistance (AVA) and the Crime Victim Advocacy Council (CVAC). </p> </p> <p>&quot;Serving victims and their families has been the honor of a lifetime, and I am humbled to join Kim in leading NCVC's efforts to ensure those directly affected by all types of crimes receive access to protection, resources and hope they need to recover and rebuild their lives,&quot; said Hewitt. &quot;Moreover, ensuring communities across <span class="xn-location">the United States</span> receive the training and education to best serve victims of crime is now more critical than ever. I look forward to working with Kim to advance these initiatives and others as we get to work.&quot; </p> <p>Hewitt's legal experience helping hundreds of crime victims and their families navigate the legal issues of their cases is complemented by Goldman's first-hand experience dealing with the tragic death of her brother. Since his murder in <span class="xn-chron">June 1994</span>, Goldman has remained devoted to seeking justice in his case and sharing her experience to advocate for the rights of others who have unfortunately experienced similar tragedies. </p><p><span class="xn-person">Kim Goldman</span> and <span class="xn-person">Melvin Hewitt</span> as our co-chairs bring a wealth of experience and passion for serving victims,&quot; said <span class="xn-person">Renee E.
