Mission: "…to train and educate our campus and community in the prevention, response, advocacy, and treatment for domestic violence sexual assault victims. The conference is an initial effort to eliminate misconceptions and to begin to create an environment that will better take care of victims/survivors."

This educational summit explores response and access to victim resources and victim services that are available in the community. The program will address effective protocols for responding to those experiencing domestic violence and sexual assault and discuss integrating that response into a management plan for the community at large.

Ruth Taylor Read is the program manager for this event, and she is commited to the community, which is evident in her involvement with organizations such as the Johnson City Sexual Assault Task Force and Women Matter Northeast Tennessee, a nonprofit organization addressing critical issues affecting women in the region. She currently serves on the board of directors for Frontier Health SAFE House, underlining her dedication to fostering a safe and supportive community.
