DVIP/RVAP Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Crisis Services has announced that beginning in December, it will be led by co-executive directors Alta Medea and Delaney Dixon.
Medea and Dixon have a combined 40-plus years of experience in victim advocacy and other services.
Dixon currently serves as assistant executive director of DVIP and Medea is the director of community engagement at DVIP.
Longtime Executive Director Kristie Fortmann-Doser announced her planned retirement earlier this year, prompting the search. The hiring committee reviewed more than 100 candidates before deciding on the co-executive directors.
DVIP & RVAP provides services to people affected by intimate partner violence, sexual violence, stalking and human trafficking. It serves an eight-county service region, including Cedar, Des Moines, Henry, Iowa, Johnson, Lee, Van Buren and Washington counties. Learn more at www.dvipiowa.org.
