Keynote Speaker: Teri Jendusa Nicolai

Teri Jendusa Nicolai was thrust into the national spotlight in February 2004 after her ex-husband abducted her, beat her with a baseball bat, and left her for dead in a storage locker in Illinois. Teri survived to tell her story and now travels across the country sharing her harrowing experience to educate others about the terror that domestic violence victims and their children live with every day in the hopes that she can save someone else from a similar tragedy. Teri has been featured on 20/20 and in newspapers across the country who shared the horrific story of the domestic abuse she endured and her attempted murder. The staff and Board of Domestic Abuse Intervention Services are honored to bring this amazing survivor to Madison to share her story of survival, courage, and freedom.
