Joey Cope

Joe L. (Joey) Cope, J.D.

 

Joe L. “Joey” Cope moved to Abilene in 1986 to practice law with a banking law and commercial litigation firm. 

 

In 1989, he was invited to join the staff of Abilene Christian University. For seven years, Joey was the executive assistant to President Royce Money.  During that time he served as the chief planning officer and the chairman of the university’s budget and long range planning committees.  He also served one year as interim vice president for university advancement, overseeing fund raising, student recruiting and student financial services.

 

In 1998, Joey was asked to reorganize The ACU Foundation, a separate corporation owned by the university managing more than $100 million in assets and marketing charitable gift opportunities.

 

In 2000, the challenge was presented to establish a Center for Conflict Resolution at Abilene Christian University.  Joey was selected as its first director.  In that role, he directs the graduate program in conflict resolution and reconciliation and teaches Negotiation, Mediation, and Advanced Conflict Management.  He also oversees the Conflict Practicum.

 

The Center offers a variety of services.  Joey works with mediator-in-residence, Dr. Jerry Strader, in promoting and staffing Alternatives in Mediation – a mediation and conflict resolution service provided for ACU students, faculty and staff.  Joey also supervises mediators for the West Texas Mediation Center – a partnership with the local Better Business Bureau handling small disputes between businesses and their customers.

 

Joey coordinates Center services in consultation and conflict resolution for businesses, non-profit organizations, and churches. 

 

In addition to his activities with the University, Joey maintains a small law practice, concentrating his time in estate planning, probate, business, and settlement & negotiation.

 

Joey and his wife, Nancy, have two sons, two wonderful daughters-in-law, and a precious granddaughter.  Joey serves as an elder in the Highland Church of Christ of Abilene.
