Nadina Riggsbee' Story (Founder) - Page 3

Nadina knows profoundly the toll that childhood drowning exacts. Her marriage ended in divorce, as do many marriages when there is a death or brain damage of a child. But she continues her care of JJ and drowning prevention. She has testified as an expert witness in cases involving drowning. She serves on many committees, and is the Chair of the Drowning Prevention Committee of California's Children's Health and Safety Coalition and the Advisory Council of National Drowning Prevention Alliance. She assists other jurisdictions "as needed" as an advocate for fencing ordinances, meeting with building code officials, and helping to implement local educational programs.
