Bio: Jo-Anne Chasnow Jo-Anne Chasnow is the Executive Director of Human SERVE, a national, nonpartisan voter registration organization established in 1983 to promote the idea that offering citizens the opportunity to register to vote in a variety of government agencies could lead to universal voter registration. Founded by sociologist Richard Cloward and political scientist Frances Fox Piven, Human SERVE was instrumental in launching or strengthening state programs to register voters at driving license bureaus even before the passage of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA). After NVRA was passed, Human SERVE developed a definitive implementation manual, provided technical assistance and expertise, and evaluated methods for voter registration in public agencies. Jo-Anne Chasnow was the director of the New Jersey Human SERVE before becoming the national director in 1986. She led Human SERVE’s “Enfranchise America” project to mobilize agencies that offer social services to offer voter registration to the people they serve. She works closely with Secretaries of State and State Elections Directors natiowide. She played a key role in the design and implementation of state motor voter programs in 12 of the first program in the country. She has been an organizer for more that 18 years in tenants’ rights, labor, and health care access.
