I am excited about something new the Virginia Sexual and Domestic Violence Action Alliance is starting: Leadership training for director’s of local centers. Although now I”m not really eligible as I’m considered 5 years old as a director. I am sending one of my staff to help prepare her for leadership. This is a much needed focus in our industry to help the younger leaders stay engaged and develop skills to help them lead our anti-violent agencies in the future.
Our industry has changed so much in the 30 years it’s been developing. I can’t believe the gains at times. But it is a different “animal’ so to speak than it was and time for us to have defined leadership programs to help us as our centers become more complicated to deal with the very complicated issues surrounding trauma.
I look forward to my employee learn great things to bring back to my agency and watch her grow into the next leader in our industry.
