Ashley Biden, the daughter of Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, has been named executive director of the Delaware Center for Justice, the nonprofit advocacy group announced Tuesday in an email newsletter.

Biden, 33, was associate director under Joanna Champney, who directed the agency for about three years. Champney on Tuesday was named chief of the Planning and Research Unit for the state Department of Corrections.

The Delaware Center for Justice pursues issues related to corrections, alternatives to incarceration, re-entry for those incarcerated, crime prevention and the needs of victims.

Biden's appointment was effective Thursday, the newsletter said. She will oversee service programs – including victim services, dispute resolution through court case mediation, youth diversion and intervention, and prisoner re-entry case management – and focus on fundraising efforts and community relations, the newsletter said. The center plans to hire a deputy director to oversee administration and supervise policy and legislative advocacy.

Biden was a social worker for the state Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families before joining the Center for Justice in 2013. Her half-brother, Beau, is Delaware's attorney general.
