Vermont Business Magazine The Steps to End Domestic Violence team in Burlington has announced that Lizzy Lyons is their new Executive Director. Lyons has been doing trauma-informed work in Vermont for nearly two decades. She has most recently supported Vermont children and youth as a program director at the Vermont Network and we are more than excited to welcome her to our team here at Steps! In her free time, Lizzy spending time in nature with her family, reading at home and wants to complete her personal goal of visiting every national park.
“It is my honor and privilege to begin as the Executive Director for Steps and to join the dedicated staff and volunteers who are impacting thousands of lives, in every corner of our community, from Underhill to Charlotte" Lyons said. I" know that while I am just beginning in my new role, Steps is a strong organization with a long 50-year history that has been possible because of the ongoing support of this wonderful community and through the dedication of the staff and volunteers over the years. I believe it is important to respect and care for each other, to prevent violence with opportunities for learning and growth, and to work together to find creative ways both big and small to meet the needs for healing and change. During a time that violence continues in our homes, online, and on the streets, I will work tirelessly to ensure that our community knows that Steps is an organization where they will be welcomed and believed, treated with integrity and compassion, and where they will be able to find the resources they may need on their own journey to safety.”
