- The Rev. Dr. Anne Marie Hunter – Director, Safe Havens Interfaith Partnership Against Domestic Violence
- Dave Thomas – Program Administrator, Division of Public Safety Leadership, Johns Hopkins University
- Council Member Devon Boyer – Shoshone-Bannock Tribe
- The Honorable Karen S. Adam – Judge, Arizona Superior Court in Pima County
