Introducing PADV’s Next Chief Executive Officer.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Partnership Against Domestic Violence, we are proud to announce the selection of Charel Palmer as our next Chief Executive Officer, effective November 9, 2026. Charel brings extensive executive leadership experience spanning organizational transformation, operational excellence, people strategy, and community engagement. Her leadership experience, combined with her commitment to PADV’s mission, uniquely positions her to guide the organization forward. As we welcome Charel, we also look ahead with renewed energy and purpose. Together, we will honor PADV’s legacy, strengthen our organization, deepen our partnerships, and expand our impact for survivors and families across our community. We are excited about the leadership, vision, and momentum Charel brings to this next chapter. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Tanya Uherka, Soon Ventures, for her leadership and commitment during the transition. I am equally grateful to our Board of Directors for their service, strategic stewardship, and dedication to positioning the organization for a strong future. My appreciation also extends to CALIBRATE for leading a thoughtful, rigorous, and integrity driven executive search process, ensuring PADV’s mission and future remained at the center of every decision. Please join us in welcoming Charel Palmer. Same Mission. Next Chapter. Kristen Hoskinson Board Chair, Partnership Against Domestic Violence
