Craig Nicholson [email protected]
My first experience in community service was coaching my son’s soccer team for which parents helped. Next I joined the Chandler Kiwanis Club. Our main focus was raising money for the Reading is Fundamental program. I did get elected to the presidency for a short time, then we moved up here the first time. While still living in Chandler in 1997 I joined the Chandler Volunteers in Policing (VIP) program. The area of this program I served in was Victim Assistance. In this we had to take classes on Victimology and Crisis Intervention. We went with officers on their calls to assist the victims’ mental and emotional state, while officers conducted the investigation. During this time, and after, we moved a lot, flipping houses. So, we sat on 3 HOA boards during this time. Where we focused on strengthening the board and weakening the management.
