The board of directors of New Directions of Decatur County, Inc. is pleased to announce that Diane Moore has joined our staff as our new Executive Director.
Board president, Debbie Robbins stated, “Diane brings a wealth of knowledge and community interaction to our organization. A long-time resident of Decatur County, she has over a dozen years’ experience working with non-profits including several years as the Executive Director of the Arts & Cultural Council of Decatur County and has been active as a volunteer with many philanthropic groups.”
“I am thrilled to have been selected for this position,” says Moore. “I hope to use my energy and experience to facilitate the positive growth of the organization and to assist local women and their families as they cope with the harsh realities of domestic violence.”
New Directions has been providing shelter, counseling and related services to residents of Decatur County for over ten years.
“This year is starting off fantastic! We are also proud to announce the implementation of a new dating violence education program in our schools and the appointment of Jackie Elliott as our new Volunteer Coordinator. There are so very many exciting and positive changes happening in our organization,” notes Robbins.
“Our town has always prided itself on ‘taking care of our own’ and New Directions plays a key role in this tradition. Domestic violence is a terrifying ordeal, and it is vital that the women and children involved in these situations be able to stay right here in our local shelter near their support systems, work and schools. We strongly believe it is especially important for children to stay in their own schools during this traumatic experience.”
Moore and Robbins hope the community will join their efforts and support New Directions as they continue to grow and offer even more services and educational programs.
Local groups, service organizations and businesses are invited to contact them for information or to schedule a program for your employees or members. “I look forward to getting out into my community to work as an advocate for New Directions and as an educator on the many topics related to domestic violence.”
