Sheryl Thomas-Washburn
As a seasoned executive with over 25 years of experience in social services administration, program creation, and organizational development, my career has been dedicated to advancing equity and fostering community well-being. I have held pivotal roles in esteemed organizations such as Journey Center for Safety and Healing, the Urban League of Greater Cleveland, and Abode Services, which at the time served six of the San Francisco Bay Area counties, including the cities of Oakland, San Jose, and San Francisco.
My extensive work in Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion plus Belonging (JEDI-B) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is crucial in addressing the complex issues faced by survivors. My JEDI-B and DEI initiatives focus on dismantling systemic inequities and fostering environments where all survivors feel supported and empowered. This dedication ensures the provision of critical services and advocacy for broader societal changes.
