NRCDV is honored to have been led by an outstanding Board for many years and is deeply grateful for the leadership and hard work of Dr. Johnny Rice II, Dr. Dolly Wideman-Scott, Maria Jose Fletcher, Katie Ray Jones, and Etiony Aldarondo. “Our outgoing Board members set NRCDV on the course to grow the organization and ensure our advocacy and services are survivor-centered,” added Safiullah.
