The Sexual Assault Center of Northwest Georgia is currently seeking compassionate and community-minded individuals interested in serving on its Board of Directors.

The organization’s mission is to provide compassionate and confidential care, support, and advocacy to survivors of sexual assault while promoting awareness and prevention throughout the communities it serves.

Board members are expected to attend monthly meetings held on the second Wednesday of each month at noon and actively participate in the work of the organization. Responsibilities include serving on committees focused on board governance, fundraising, facilities, or personnel, as well as assisting with fundraising efforts that support the center’s programs and services.

Officials with the organization say they welcome inquiries from individuals who feel called to support survivors and strengthen services across Northwest Georgia. Board positions are filled through a thoughtful selection process designed to ensure the best fit for both the individual and the organization.

The Sexual Assault Center of Northwest Georgia provides services for residents in Bartow, Chattooga, Floyd, Gordon, and Polk counties. Services include a 24-hour crisis hotline, 24-hour hospital accompaniment, legal advocacy and court accompaniment, referrals to counseling services, support groups for survivors of sexual assault, and prevention education programs.

Individuals interested in learning more about board service opportunities are encouraged to contact Danny Price, Vice President of the Board of Directors and Chair of the Board Governance Committee, at dprice@berry.edu.
