Jann Jackson Retirement, Baltimore, Nov. 8, 2006

Jann Jackson's farewell remarks at her retirement dinner at Overhills Mansion, November 8, 2006. Jann has done a fabulous job as Executive Director of Advocates for Children and Youth for the last decade. She will be greatly missed. Her leadership was instrumental to most of the gains made for children recently. The education funding from Thornton, the children's health insurance and all of the reforms in juvenile justice and child abuse would not have been possible without her. She made a real differnce in the lives of Maryland children, and they will miss her. Retirement is great Jann- you'll love it!
