Under the leadership of Chief Executive Officer Liz Ortenburger and with the dedication of 82 full and part-time staff members, SafeNest continues to innovate and expand its impact in the fight against domestic and sexual violence. The organization remains committed to its mission of ending violence through prevention, intervention, and empowerment.
