A local woman and the executive director of The Crisis Center, Inc. was recognized Tuesday by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center for her work to end sexual violence. Kathy Ray was selected as the recipient of the visionary voice award for the state of Kansas.
The NSVRC offers the visionary voice awards, in conjunction with sexual assault awareness month each April, to recognize the creativity and hard work of individuals around the country who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, innovation and commitment to end sexual violence.
Ray’s work reflects a career dedicated to strengthening survivor-centered advocacy, advancing systems reform, and ensuring survivors have access to the support and services they deserve.
