Board of Directors

Blue Water Safe Horizons is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit agency and, as such, is governed by a volunteer board of directors composed of interested, concerned, citizens who are passionate about our mission:

“The mission of Blue Water Safe Horizons is to increase awareness of intimate-partner and sexual violence and its effect on the community, to empower those victimized by providing advocacy and safe and effective services, and to work for social change through education and community collaboration.”
