Board of Directors

At the heart of CVA’s mission is a dedicated board of directors that includes survivors, victim advocates, law enforcement professionals, and caring community members. This diverse group brings together a wealth of experiences and insights, ensuring that the voices of victims are represented at every level of decision-making. 

Survivors offer invaluable perspectives on the challenges faced by victims, advocating for policies that truly reflect their needs. Victim advocates provide expertise on support services and legal frameworks, while law enforcement professionals contribute their understanding of the criminal justice system. Together, they collaborate to develop and implement initiatives that promote safety, justice, and healing. 

This inclusive approach strengthens our efforts to advocate for victims' rights and fosters a community where every voice matters. By working together, we can create meaningful change and support for those affected by crime.
