Hello from Violence Free Colorado!
I'm super excited to begin this newsletter with some updates about our growing team!
Corinne DiVittorio (she, her) is our new Finance, Operations, and Grants Manager! This role will replace the Finance Director position at the coalition, which I believe will be pivotal for our long term stability. Corinne started in early October and has already hit the ground running, making solid contributions to our internal infrastructure. She'll introduce herself in a future newsletter, but please join me in welcoming her to our crew!
The next update to our team includes the one and only Katie Wolf. You may recognize her name because she's been our lobbyist for the last 5 years. After we struggled to generate a competitive pool of candidates for the full time Public Policy Director position, Katie graciously agreed to expand her role with us for the next year as our Public Policy Director. While this won't be a permanent change in roles for Katie, we're tremendously fortunate that she's willing to offer her expertise to help support our public policy work during this time of transition.
As I enter the 6-month mark with Violence Free Colorado, I'm feeling excited about our current trajectory. I'm grateful that I get to work with such incredible humans everyday and I look forward to continuing to develop and grow partnerships with each of you.
Thank you for all you do and as always, don't hesitate to reach out with feedback. I can be reached at mrivera@violencefreeco.org.
In solidarity,
Monica
