Schraver joins Center for Community Alternatives board

The Rochester–based Center for Community Alternatives (CCA), which also has a Syracuse office, announced that attorney David M. Schraver has joined its board of directors.

Schraver, a resident of Rochester, is an attorney with Nixon Peabody LLP, a law firm with offices in Rochester and in cities across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. He has previously served as president of the Monroe County Bar Association (1997-98) and later as president of the New York State Bar Association (2013-14). Schraver is a graduate of Harvard University (bachelor’s degree) and the University of Michigan Law School (J.D. degree).

CCA works in the field of community-based alternatives to incarceration. The center says its mission is to promote reintegrative justice and a reduced reliance on incarceration through advocacy, services and public policy development in pursuit of civil and human rights. In Rochester, CCA recently expanded its New York State–funded Outreach and Recovery Center, known as the “CORE Center.” CCA has provided recovery services to people with criminal and drug use histories in Rochester since 2006. In addition to that office and its Syracuse site (located at 115 E. Jefferson St.), CCA also has an office in New York City.

 “Dave Schraver will help us develop new opportunities for our CORE Center and for those we serve. In addition, given CCA’s role in monitoring the implementation of Raise the Age [legislation], we will benefit greatly from Mr. Schraver’s perspective on what’s happening in Rochester,” Kelly Gonzalez, CCA’s deputy director for Rochester and Syracuse, said in the release.

David Condliffe, CCA’s executive director, added, “With his statewide contacts, Dave Schraver will open new doors across the state as CCA develops innovative public policy and identifies communities that want to expand their alternative to incarceration and reentry services.”
