CARDV is truly an exemplary Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault support services and social change organization. I am proud to join CARDV as we bridge the transition to a permanent new Executive Director who will lead us to a harmonious and healthy future.
In my role as Interim Executive Director, I regularly have the opportunity to work with the Board and Staff as they look to fill the primary leadership role in their organization.

You should also know that the Board at CARDV is highly effective, takes their leadership and stewardship responsibilities very seriously, and is actively engaged in policy and fundraising work that has put CARDV in a very attractive position for a dynamic leader to take over with ease.
With all of that said, I am asking you to join us in reaching out to find a new leader with the skills and qualities that will support the CARDV mission, continue our community partnerships, and support and recognize the skills and talents of the Staff and Volunteers.
