ATHENS, GA — The Georgia Commission on Family Violence (GCFV) has announced Kia Daniels-Peck, chair of the Griffin Judicial Circuit Domestic Violence Task Force, as the honored recipient of the Task Force Member of the Year Award. The award was presented during the 32nd Annual Family Violence Conference held in Athens, Georgia.

The Task Force Member of the Year Award recognizes an individual whose dedication to ending domestic violence within their community is truly outstanding. Recipients of this honor consistently rise above the call of duty, going beyond expectations to prioritize survivor autonomy and safety as vital components of a coordinated community response.

Kia Daniels-Peck serves as a Victim/Witness Advocate with the Griffin Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office and is chair of the Task Force. Upon stepping into the leadership role of Chair, Daniels-Peck brought a level of excellence and zeal that quickly earned her re-election. Under her guidance, the task force has expanded training opportunities, increased overall meeting attendance, and modernized operations by effectively using virtual spaces and digital communications.

Daniels-Peck is recognized for her ability to foster strong inter-agency collaboration across the judicial and public safety sectors. She works seamlessly alongside law enforcement officers, judges, District Attorneys, Assistant District Attorneys, defense attorneys, Family Violence Intervention Program (FVIP) facilitators, and community advocates to create a unified front against domestic abuse. "Advocacy is more than a role—it is a calling. Every survivor I have supported, and every voice I have helped uplift, reminds me why this work matters," said Kia Daniels-Peck. "I am humbled and honored to receive this recognition, but I accept it on behalf of the survivors whose courage fuels this mission and the advocates who stand beside them. Together, through compassion, courage, and commitment, we can change lives."

The GCFV Annual Conference brings together criminal justice professionals, advocates, and community leaders from across the state to share best practices, enhance multi-disciplinary collaboration, and honor exceptional contributions to survivor safety and offender accountability.
