Kiwanians...we have a great speaker for this Thursday so find Bill's email and rsvp! Shelly Everett is the Executive Director of Fear2Freedom, a local nonprofit. Shelly joined Fear 2 Freedom in August 2021 in a development role and, after a brief hiatus, returned as CEO in July 2024. Her return marks an exciting chapter in advancing F2F’s mission, guided by her vision, energy, and unwavering commitment to preventing sexual violence and supporting survivors. With a deep dedication to serving survivors of sexual and intimate partner violence, human trafficking, stalking, and homelessness, Shelly combines hands-on experience with strategic leadership to expand F2F’s programs, partnerships, and community impact. As Co-Chair of the Association of Fundraising Professionals Hampton Roads Chapter’s National Philanthropy Day event, she helps strengthen the region’s culture of philanthropy while building relationships that support Fear 2 Freedom’s mission.
A graduate of LEAD Peninsula, Shelly leverages her community connections and collaborative leadership approach to increase awareness, cultivate resources, and build meaningful partnerships that advance Fear 2 Freedom’s work throughout Hampton Roads and beyond. Outside of her work, Shelly enjoys spending time with her husband and their two young sons.
Also, don't forget to reach out to Chris Hale to sign up for this coming Saturday's Harborfest/Sail 250 Kiwanis beer pull! Bring along friends but check in ahead of Saturday to tell him. He will be at the meeting this Thursday. We need your help!
