The Second Step Welcomes Roberta Rosenberg as Executive Director



Roberta Rosenberg

Since 1992, The Second Step has empowered nearly 2,000 women and children to move beyond the trauma of domestic violence to lead safe, productive, independent and fulfilling lives. Under the leadership of Executive Director Liz Kirsch, our programs for survivors of domestic violence and their children received national and local awards for excellence. After 15 years of life-changing accomplishments, Liz retired at the end of 2007.

To build upon the strong foundation established by Liz, we welcome Roberta Rosenberg to succeed Liz as Executive Director effective January 1, 2008. After an extensive nationwide search over the past five months, we were delighted to find the most qualified candidate in our own backyard. Roberta is a Newton resident whose knowledge of the greater Boston community will be an asset to The Second Step.

Roberta is a respected executive leader, with over 30 years of experience in the management of not-for-profit organizations. She combines strategic vision, operational excellence, and team-building skills to grow results-oriented social services organizations. She is a supporter of The Second Step, and brings a passion for setting survivors of domestic violence on a safe path to personal and professional growth.
